Jill Carroll update

Two-and-a-half weeks after she was kidnapped, and four days after a deadline set by her captors, the fate of American journalist Jill Carroll remains unknown.

On its website, The Christian Science Monitor is maintaining a "Jill Carroll update" page with daily newsbriefs and links to stories about Carroll, who is a freelance reporter for the paper.

In the past few days, Editor and Publisher has posted several stories related to Carroll's kidnapping:

• A remembrance by Karen List, who taught Carroll at the University of Massachusetts Journalism program.
• A tribute to Carroll by reporter Dennis Anderson.
• Today, E&P posted a story about Military Reporters and Editors president Sig Christenson's call "for a new agreement among news outlets to hold off reporting on any overseas abduction for 48 hours."

In USA Today several reporters, including Farnaz Fassihi of The Wall Street Journal, dicuss dealing with the threat of kidnapping while working in Iraq. Carroll's abduction was also a topic on Sunday's edition of "Reliable Sources" on CNN (transcript).
