Columbia Journalism Review on Small Wars Journal

Small Wars Journal : The News Frontier Database by Michael Meyer, Columbia Journalism Review.
“Although it’s right to call Small Wars Journal a niche publication, doing so misrepresents the site’s true influence. “Small wars,” as the site uses it, is a kind of catch-all term for counter-insurgency, counter-terrorism, and other pervasive features of the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although SWJ may have the narrow readership of a trade or academic journal, its online presence has allowed it to be a major voice on topics paramount to public interest…”

Congratulations SWJ!
Ditto!
SWJ has been an important part of my professional life in terms of a knowledge source and forum for debate and discussion since i returned from Baghdad in late 2006.
thanks to the SWJ crew for all of the excellence and hard work

Even the comments section? Uh oh.
At any rate, congrats to the site and site editors et al.
Wonderful public educational resource and good illustration of online COI (see, I can do acronyms too. Er, hope I picked the correct one).
To illustrate:
I recognize other South Asian bloggers from Omar link’s around here. I mean, from other SA sites that have nothing specifically to do with the topics discussed here. This node: Small Wars. Other node: SA. Intersection: via Omar’s comments.
