[Channel4news.typepad.com] News from Iran: The report in Sunday's New Yorker, that the US has intensified planning for a major air attack on Iran generated an enormous response in traditional media and the Blogosphere. But few Iranian English-language bloggers, in Iran or elsewhere, tackled the issue.

[Activistchat.com] FREE IRAN NEWS [In The Spirit Of Cyrus The Great & The First ...: I believe that there is a reason for this special gift which resides within their hearts--what one commentator recently observed as the "tortured history of Iran." Tragedies at the hands of Greeks, Mongols, Arabs, Turks, Russians, British, and yes, Americans, have put this amazing culture and nation under the relentless heel of foreign exploitation and oppression with consistent repristination in time. I subscribe to the view that the best of this nation have survived, and continue to survive, by a worldview which looks simultaneously back and forward--back to the days of the apex of the Achaemenid Kings of Ancient Persia beginning with Cyrus, and forward to an eternity where the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in history are overcome by the gracious provision of the God of the Universe.

 [Cjrdaily.org] CJR Daily: Iraq, Iran, Katrina and the Ever-Bubbly Fred Barnes: The magazine, L'Hebdo, sent several journalists to take shifts living in the community, while posting both online and for the print version, producing a "media outlet that was global (the Internet), Swiss (the magazine's headquarters), and French (Bondy), all at the same time." The magazine also set up a blog, and despite being tear-gassed by local thugs and pelted with stones, the blog's staff "was able to capture the kinds of rich stories about daily life that are typically overlooked by the mainstream press." The magazine went so far as to train eight young local volunteers in technology so that they might post to the blog themselves, and named a local school teacher as the blog's editor-in-chief. It was a great idea, and given all the back-and-forth about "citizen journalism," one that shows that with a little foresight, blogs can be much more than a rest stop for endless rounds of partisan sniping.
