I've been reading Joe Sacco's Safe Area Gorazde, a “comic book” about the '92-95 war in Bosnia. Comic, it isn't. It's journalism, in its most personal form. It's what blogging should be, it's what reporting should be. I'm not saying we should all do comic books, mind you–not everybody can draw the story like Sacco can. No, rather, what I'm saying is that the factual presentation plus the emotional element that carries the feeling of what it was like to be there, in person, is what journalists should strive for whatever their topic.

BTW, Sacco previously did a graphic-journal on Palestine–also a great piece of journalism.
