UN and Reuters launch agency project for Iraqi media
A new project aims to help Iraqi news media pool their efforts and assemble a more complete daily picture of events in their country.
The Reuters Foundation, with support from the UN Development Program (UNDP), launched the project on March 16. It aims to connect Iraqi media outlets so they can share their work, filling the gap left by the lack of a national news agency.
