Elections in Iran: Internet media as a means of fighting for freedom of choice
Today on Habré has already appeared material on how Internet media was used in Iran to combat the AAA regime. My brother (who, alas, does not have an account here) today wrote an interesting article about it, having added its links. I offer it to your attention, habra people!
On June 12, in Iran, a presidential election was held, where the main contenders for the presidency were current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and a representative of the reformers camp Mir-Hossein Mousavi.
The result of the election was an impressive victory for Ahmadinejad, which led to riots throughout Iran, allegations of fraud and protests around the world. Iranian population and sympathizers adequately coped with broadcasting news and fixing violations, using the Internet environment.

1. Twitter activity.
It is no secret that this microblogging network is almost the best media tools for publishing short news headlines. The Iranians communicated with each other on Twitter, while in hot clashes with the police, which led to the widespread publicity of the Iranian conflict among the twitterchan. The most complete information at the time of the election could be obtained by the hash tags #IranElection , Ahmadinejad , Mousavi and Tehran .
2. YouTube as a news channel.
The world's largest video hosting YouTube has become a central media intermediary for Iranian insurgents. Socially active Iranians downloaded the video literally in non-stop mode, continuing to be in the thick of things. How to find all downloaded videos now? We have selected key accounts and requests on YouTube so that you can follow the history of the Iranian conflict.
3. Blogs
Citizen journalists have realized themselves literally everywhere, and the blog platform has become one of the hottest places after Iran. Perhaps the best blogger who covered the Iranian conflict was Saeed Valadbaygi, who wrote to the Revolutionary Road blog. Saed’s popularity on the Web was such that even the most authoritative publications referred to him: Le Monde, BBC, TimesOnline.
4. Flickr and photo hosting
The social network of photographers Flickr is currently filled with stunning and at the same time terrible photos from the field. Search queries like Iran Elections and Iran Riots 2009 will help you to see the highlights of what happened.
A few words at the end.
The fact that the era of citizen journalism came, it was clear even September 11, 2001. However, it took only 8 years for even the residents of countries with far from the best conditions for access to the Network to finally understand this - the truth should sound loud, and anyone can do it.
