Current News Sources on the Iran Election Crisis

Many of the current news stories about the Iran Election situation are about how the mainstream U. S. media are failing in their coverage. If you want to see real-time information from and about Iran, see sources such as:

• Twitterfall -- Choose #iranelection from the left column.


• PicFog -- Choose iranelection from the left column. Warning: Some images are graphic and may be disturbing.

Of course, you can also go straight to Twitter and look for the Trending Topic #iranelection, but registration is required.

Be aware that a hazard of these real-time, non-media sites is the lack of confirmation and verification. For mainstream media sites that seem to be providing more current coverage and are authoritative, see MSNBC and BBC News.
