The Lebanese journalist Diana Mkalled, known for her documentaries on Future TV, wrote about blogs on Asharq al-Awsat website. However, she made some mistakes in her column. Kevin Sites works for NBC, not CNN as she mentioned. Also, I think Ms. Mkalled does not know much about Arab blogs. It is true that we still do not have the kind of reporters/bloggers such as Kevin Sites and Dan Gilmor, but I think the Arab blogging scene is expanding rapidly, and we will reach this stage soon. She also said the word "blog" is not translated to Arabic yet, which is wrong because the word "مدونة" (Modawanna) is a perfect translation, coined and approved by Arab bloggers. # »
