After five years of assiduously collecting news and opinion about the War on Terror, Mårten Barck has announced that Watch: Covering the War on Terror has come to an end.
I’ve decided to stop updating Watch. Five years seems more than enough, really, and I haven’t had any enthusiasm for it lately. It was just difficult to find a natural end for it, as history has a tendency to continue on a day to day basis. The frontpage will end on September 11, 2006, but you'll still find updates to December 2006 in the archive, which starts on September 11, 2001.
Mårten’s diligence and good news judgement made Watch an invaluable, though too infrequently heralded, resource. I’m sorry to see it come to an end but am glad that the archive remains as a research aid.
