Just thought I would bring to the attention of board members, the murder of IndyMedia journalist Brad Will, who was covering the story of the struggle to oust the corrupt officials of local government.

The full story, including a photo identifying his killers, can be found at the above address.

This report contains the footage he was shooting when he was killed.
I would just like to know why this has not made major copy in any of the big outlets as yet.

That's a good reason.
Because journo's being killed is regretably common and unless they work for a major outlet which then kicks up a stink its not newsworthy.
PS Has anyone checked MoK for an alibi?:D
Took me a while to work out why you'd put this, then I remembered the thread...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1976987,00.html mentioned in a story about murdered journalists (as an aside how much was the murder of five Iraqi journalists covered)
It may not have been covered in depth, but its certainly been covered...
