Hostage: The Jill Carroll Story
On  January 7, 2006 in Baghdad, a journalist named Jill Carroll was abducted by Islamist insurgents. For 82 days, Jill lived, ate, and wept under the watch of her captors. When at last she was freed, the world seemed to release a jagged sigh of relief. Now, The Christian Science Monitor, the paper Jill was freelancing for when she was kidnapped, has launched an in-depth site that relates Jill's harrowing tale with all the tools available to the online storyteller. Jill has penned a gripping, and ongoing, account of her experience. Staff writer Peter Grier's description of what was happening simultaneously back in the U.S. intermingles with her report. Video, slideshows, and podcasts supplement the articles. Over time, Jill will give video answers to questions submitted from readers. And her story will continue to take shape. For that reason, we're happy to say again: Welcome home, Jill. (in News & Media) |
