Birdhouse Hosting welcomes backpackjournalist.org, run by a pair of J-School graduates now traveling the world as a team, reporting on-the-fly:
Backpackjournalist.org is a collaborative international professional reporting project by journalists, Anna Sussman and Jonathan Jones, intended to generate stories of global interest from countries in the African Great Lakes region and the Great Rift Valley, the Indian subcontinent, and South East Asia.
Birdhouse is also hosting annasussman.com, a portfolio site for one half of the backpackjournalist team.
Anna Sussman writes, reports and produces print and radio news features. She has reported on a wide variety of issues from the US, Africa and Asia, with a focus on human rights.

Re: Backpackjournalist.org
Pretty neat. They should take a look at for a kind-of-similiar web project for design inspiration.

Journalists traveling the world, eh ? Sound like they could use the Domke F-802 Reporter’s Satchel, from the makers of those super-rugged camera bags…
