The Best Sources of Coverage During the Iranian Uprising

Tips Directing You to the Most Comprehensive Blogs and New Media

There are some prominent blogs that are doing an excellent job of live-blogging all of the important developments as they occur daily in Iran.

Nico Pitney at The Huffington Post

Pitney does a good job of posting information directly from citizens who are involved on the ground in the conflict. Often this information is largely un-edited for spelling and grammar mistakes which can makes things a bit choppy to understand once in awhile.

Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Dish at The Atlantic.com

Sullivan manages to vet his sources pretty well and shows a remarkable sense of tact. His tight prose and insight makes for an enlightening read.

Al Jazeera in English

An excellent source that has more unrestricted access and contacts than most of the other news organizations in the world.

CNN coverage of the Iran fallout

While the main coverage has been spotty at times, their use of citizen journalism with their iReport program has, at times, been quite helpful for understanding what is happening.

Twitter.com

Search for the term #iranelection in the space provided on the right side of your Twitter page for current updates and conversation regarding what is happening in Iran. Be careful of misleading information planted by conservative Iranian posters out to condemn Mousavi and his supporters.
