Sifting Through the Video of Syria’s Conflict
Activists on the frontlines of Syria’s war upload dozens of gritty, often graphic videos to YouTube everyday. The New York Times recently launched a new interactive page to put the videos in context.

Much of the video on the New York Times new online page Watching Syria’s War is gritty, graphic and too close for comfort.
The interactive page curates video and images from Syrian activists and government sources, and aims to put the video in context.
