I was happy to see Adam Daniel Mezei on his new Pmd for Hire blog respond to the work of the Sparrow Songs team of Alex Jablonski and Michael Totten from this year’s “25 New Faces” list. Like me, he found something special in the tone and execution of these monthly short documentary pieces. (Check out Mezei’s post for detailed musings on five of the episodes.) Now, Jablonski and Totten are launching a Kickstarter campaign to allow them to cover the expenses of the project and to shoot three particularly ambitious final episodes. Check out their work on their own site and please consider supporting them.

Future U.S. State Department annual reports on countries will include comments about the status of press freedom prevailing in those nations as President Barack Obama signed the Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act, bringing greater scrutiny to the treatment of the news media around the world.
Obama was joined by the chief sponsors of the bill and the family of the new law's namesake, Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter slain by terrorists in 2002.
Pearl's widow, Mariane; father, Judea; mother, Ruth; sisters Michelle and Tamara; and son, Adam Daniel, who turns eight on May 28, were present.
President Obama thanked "Adam Schiff in the House and Senator Chris Dodd in the Senate for their leadership," who were present there.
