Reading Iran
Iran Press Service is the oldest post-revolution English language Iranian publication outside Iran. Created in 1980 it is also one of the first Iranian Internet publications.
I don’t know if it’s more accurate or reliable than what comes through the mainstream media. I’m just glad to have an alternative source of information on Iranian nuclear diplomacy. Feels like I learn more reading Iranians on Iran, even when they report from Paris, than when I read Americans and Europeans, reporting from anywhere.
UPDATE: See also GlobalVoices for individual voices on Iran, thanks to Christy.

Michael,
I found this interesting, having lived some 9 years in Iran (age 3-12) and caught the first few years of the Islamic Revolution. Even had a chance to experience brainwashing (shouting death to US daily…) in school.
I keep on finding, though, that when it comes to news there is really nothing that I have found that would be guided by OS principles and practice in reporting what is happening in the world.
I’d be curious if people knew of such sources. Personally, I read London’s Guardian and sometimes the economist online. They don’t have depth, but they have span…
Also I like their language more…
