I was wondering about the same thing. All news websites have the same 10-15 photos and that's it.

Where are the photo-bloggers of the internet age?

Just off the Reuters wire, including the odd parenthetical...

(Recasts with fresh rioting)

By Matthew Bigg

PARIS, Nov 9 (Reuters) - France imposed emergency measures on Wednesday in 38 suburbs, towns and cities including Paris but in a 14th night of violence youths clashed with police in a southwestern city and four cars were burned.

It was not immediately clear how widespread the new violence was. Earlier, police said the unrest that had spread across many of France's towns and cities and shaken the government appeared to be waning.

Apparently the popular blogs in the Paris suburbs are "skyblogs". The police have shut down several, for inciting the riots. Go to this site and wade in:

Here's a skyblog with a bunch of images, about half of which I hadn't seen before (and trust me, I've been looking hard) . . .

I was wondering the same thing. There must be Parisians with digital cameras and internet access?

I understand it's state-controlled media, but maybe someone in Europe can explain why there seems to be very few French blogs discussing this? At least from what I've been able to find. (?)
