Kevin Sites is a journalist that has set out to cover the world's conflicts over the course of a year. Supported by a Yahoo! News production team in the US, he will visit and report on the state of 37 countries. Their challenge is to go beyond the statistics that we are highlighted in mainstream media and report on the affects that present conditions have on everyday citizens. Currently in Nepal, Sites uses the latest technology to send his reports, which allows him to be fully mobile and travel effortlessly.
Yahoo! HotZone Mission:
"To provide a clear idea of the combatants, victims, causes, and costs of each of these struggles - and their global impact. With honest, thoughtful reporting we'll strive to establish Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone as a forum for information and involvement. Users will not only learn about the scope of world conflict, but will find ways to be part of the solutions- through dialogue, debate, and avenues for action."
