THE NEW YORK TIMES INVESTMENT IN IRAQ

The New York Times expends around three million USD per year to cover Iraq.

With four or five rotating correspondents, two photographers, 70 stringers and 45 armed guards, the budget looks to me very modest for the amazing job that they are doing.

120 journalists and assistants have died in this conflict.

The 130.000 US soldiers in Iraq and their families and friends deserve such coverage, and wise investment.
