InsurgencyWatch moving to True/Slant

In the com­ing days, Insur­gen­cy­Watch will be mov­ing to True/Slant, “an orig­i­nal con­tent news net­work tai­lored to both the ‘Entre­pre­neur­ial Jour­nal­ist’ and mar­keters who want a more effec­tive way to engage with dig­i­tal audi­ences.” (That’s what the offi­cial about page says.)

It’s not a deci­sion I’ve made lightly, but I real­ize that gone are the days when the lone con­flict blog­ger work­ing by him­self can reach the audi­ence s/he wants to. It was pos­si­ble once with Back-to-Iraq, but I have come to real­ize that join­ing a net­work is really the way to go these days. Blame it on a more crowded mar­ket­place, a pub­lic weary of all the wars the U.S. is fight­ing or what­ever, but I am proud to be join­ing the True/Slant fam­ily and join­ing some of my friends and col­leagues in the network—people like Stephan Faris, Josh Kucera and Phil Zabriskie. I highly rec­om­mend all of their writings.

And my first intro­duc­tory post is already up.
