Babylon & Beyond on the Media

The LA Times' blog series about the Middle East, Babylon & Beyond, reported a few stories on Israel's control of the flow of information between the military and journalists...since reporters are banned from the conflict in Gaza.
Two reporters were arrested for violating censorship by reporting Israeli troop movements in real time to Arabic media outlets. One of these reporters is the head of the Israeli Arab National Party, and he responded that non-Arab Israelis were reporting the same information, but were not arrested.
And an Israeli anchorwoman, Yonit Levi, has a petition against her–signed by 25,000 people–because she acknowledged the deaths of Palestinian casualties.
Censors were also erasing content from a Hebrew-language site, Rotter.net, according to its forum administrator via the Times.
The Times also had another piece about a code of conduct the Iraqi government was trying to force journalists to sign that required a two-day media silence period prior to the upcoming provincial election day and giving equal time to candidates. The Times' Kim Yoshino quoted a judge who said the Iraqi election commission would not force journalists seek accreditation for the election, albeit after an uproar by local press.
