Will the Revolution be Digitized?

Andrew Sullivan, on the Daily Dish, provides a list of Twitterers from Iran such as the above account, attributed to MirHossein Mousavi, whose loss in the election is being protested in Iran. John Perry Barlow reports on Twitter that the young Iranians he follows have fallen silent.

Brian Stelter of the New York Times, an avid Twitterer, meanwhile, wrote an article to document criticism of CNN's coverage of the protests across Iran:

Untold thousands used the label “CNNfail” on Twitter to vent their frustrations. Steve LaBate, an Atlanta resident, said on Twitter, “Why aren’t you covering this with everything you’ve got?” About the same time, CNN was showing a repeat of Larry King’s interview of the stars of the “American Chopper” show. For a time, new criticisms were being added on Twitter at least once a second.

Andrew Sullivan, a blogger for The Atlantic, wrote, “There’s a reason the MSM is in trouble,” using the blogosphere abbreviation for mainstream media.

CNN said, “We share people’s expectations of CNN and have delivered far more coverage of the Iranian election and aftermath than any other network.”
