Praedict

What did I find in my Huffington Post Daily Brief this morning but a blog post from Eason Jordan! And an excellent post too, calling for the US Press to identify US Officials presenting disputed evidence against Iran.

Eason is the former President of CNN who resigned in 2005 after remarks he made at Davos about US troops killing journalists were (he claimed), misinterpreted. It wasn't the first time he'd stepped into hot water with the viewing public and rival press, but it was the last. At CNN anyway.

Prior to resigning, Eason spent almost his entire professional career at CNN (23 years). I always thought he would land on his feet, but lost track until I discovered he's been busy launching an international news service:

Praedict offers the next generation of media and insight. We are a group of well known professionals who have come together from media, marketing, and military backgrounds.

We offer a synthesis of real-time news dissemination, customized content, and analysis distributed through web-based technology. The business is designed to meet the demanding requirements of news consumers, companies, governments, and NGOs operating in high-risk environments.

Eason's publishing partner is Robert Young Pelton, author of The World's Most Dangerous Places, and all around man's man. Most of the news products from Praedict will remain free, but there will be premium services such as IraqSafetyNet that will offer safety-related information for anyone traveling in Iraq. Yea, well, no thanks on that one.
