Traditional media are having a tough time covering the Iranian election fallout, but fear not: Web 2.0 is up to the task. The Washington Post runs down the best destinations for those hoping to stay on top of the situation:
- PicFog.com: Current, unedited photos containing "a level of gore or manipulation not found on traditional news sites."
- Twitter.com: The site is abuzz with coverage; the hashtags "#iranelection, #mousavi and #Tehran are among the most popular topics."
- niacINsight (niacblog.wordpress.com): The National Iranian American Council lobbying group's site translates Farsi Facebook and Twitter posts into English.
- Tehran Bureau (thr.contralaguerra.org): The independent site mixes "on-the-ground reports with analysis written by academics and journalists."
