media memorial

 
It is a journalist's duty to report the truth.
Many have been killed in the process of doing so.

We pay tribute to those who lost their lives to provide us with the facts as they saw them in Iraq, where the war and
its outcome have caused much controversy and much sorrow.

Regardless of faith, creed, nationality or personal opinions on the war and the occupation, we mourn the media victims who died in Iraq.
