Anonymous Blog Nominated for Nonfiction Book Award
The BBC reports that Baghdad Burning, an anonymous blog written by anonymous woman living in Iraq, has been nominated for the BBC Four's Samuel Johnson Prize.
Baghdad Burning, a first-hand account written under the pseudonym Riverbend, is one of 19 books in contention.
Others include Alan Bennett's Untold Stories, a biography of 19th-Century cook and author Mrs Beeton and a study of post-war US-Soviet relations.
The winner of the £30,000 prize will be announced on 14 June.
Professor Robert Winston, chair of the judging panel, said this year's longlist contained "an exceptionally wide variety of genres".
The Baghdad Burning blog started in August, 2003 and is still active today. Here is what she has to say after three years of living in a war.
Three years later and the nightmares of bombings and of shock and awe have evolved into another sort of nightmare. The difference between now and then was that three years ago, we were still worrying about material things- possessions, houses, cars, electricity, water, fuel... It's difficult to define what worries us most now. Even the most cynical war critics couldn't imagine the country being this bad three years after the war... Allah yistur min il rab3a (God protect us from the fourth year).

There is also an ongoing discussion of blog awards and the value of blog awards in the blogosphere. The growing number of blog awards has led some bloggers to question whether so many awards are good idea.
Jane Genova tells bloggers to shun awards: "My advice to bloggers: Shun awards. If nominated for them, say you won't participate and don't accept the award if awarded it. Don't submit to any awards competitions. Don't add to your blog any list of awards. Let's keep our game clean of the sort of stuff that helped bring down MSM. Let's keep the game focused on The Now of Real Time."
The Radiant Marketing Group has a post about blog awards that includes this good point that the awards are reminiscent of the website awards of the 90s: "They remind me of the fanaticism that surrounded website awards back in the 90s. Remember all those sites touting how many awards they had won."
BusinessBlogWire reviews some of the blog award conversation in a post titled "Are Blogging Awards Good or Evil?"
