My journalist!
Hello I am a college student at USI.

Adopt a journalist
I'm writing my first article about Shukri Abu al-Burghul, a journalist from Syria. Here are some of the references I have found:


 * CPJ:
 * IFEX:
 * RSF:
 * MAR15:
 * SANA:
 * ZT:
 * GoogleNews/SANA:

First search
Ok, i put the work here on your main page. We'll use this for points, comments and questions. Here's an article one Wikpedia's sister project that will give you some more cites. Do not count the article itself as a reference but look the sources before for relveant ones that you do not have and copy the bare links of the articles. I think you're missing mentions. Here it is:

alternative spellings
I'll bet you anything there are alternative ways to spell his name! That's mostly why you're not finding everything. Easy to fix. Find more spellings by searching part of the name with part of what you know about him. Crtew (talk) 22:44, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Search
Search for "Syria Burghol". Crtew (talk) 19:43, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

LexisNexis
When you search Lexis/Nexis, you'll need to control for the date as many recent articles that mention the two western journalists will also mention in passing Burghol/Burghul. The problem is those recent articles do not add anything. The EU condemned his murder in mid January, and so you'll want to pick that up.Crtew (talk) 18:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Do your Lexis-Nexis search before you create your sandbox page. Crtew (talk) 01:33, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
