Notice in the
video they refer to him as "Blogger Michael Yon".
The guy is a better American reporter than just about anybody else in Iraq - he's making a fraction of what the typical reporters make and without the support staff they haul around. He also goes into places typical reporters won't.

He is not in the military but he is risking his life to tell the story. Michael is a great American hero, and his work will become the stuff of which legends are made.

Notice in the video they refer to him as "Blogger Michael Yon".Thanks for the link. Did Yon link that video on his homepage for this report? If he did, then I missed it.
Maybe I have the wrong impression. I thought Michael Yon was an independent, primary news reporter. I thought bloggers were folks who gave serial commentaries/opinions on the news. Any corrections are always appreciated by me.

Well, when they refer to him as “Blogger” then I know he was actually on the scene. Really, they’re doing us a favor.

I agree. Anyone who takes the risks Yon runs to bring home a story is a reporter, not just a blogger.
