This is a list of links I've been collecting on media coverage of the Iran election protests. It's far from complete but it's a start at least and hopefully it helps identify some of the main themes that are emerging.
To that end, I've tried to group together links, although you'll notice that there are plenty of areas of crossover. I should say that I haven't checked all of this stuff, so you'll have to do your own research to verify whether the information is reliable (and that goes for 'old' as well as 'new' media).
