None of this reporting -- None of it -- would be possible without online tools. Robert -- there's the 2010 Web! I seem to remember your earlier question (a few months ago) about the definition of journalism. This is it. It's not up to the "paid journalists" at the NY Times or Chicago Tribune anymore. It's up to you, me, people like @jamesbuck, and the person who took this photo and put it online.

I'm not really surprised, Iranians are a lot more empowered than people in the West think. It is *not* Saudi Arabia!

Thanks for getting this out. It's so easy to get lost in tweeting about our silly mundane lives that we forget how important images like this can result in making people aware and helping to make a difference in the world.

Curt, right, after listening to Scoble on a panel about the future of Journalism, and he was the only one "journalizing" it via Kyte, I wrote a post that the future of Journalism is a video camera or in this case a camera. I remember that it was the camera and video camera that stopped Vietnam for instance

And, putting aside for a bit whether or not CNN ignored the story -- we're now getting news that NBC's Tehran office may have been raided and the BBC has been told to "get lost." Under oppressive, censoring regimes like we have in Iran, North Korea and China -- citizen journalists empowered by new communications tools will be the ONLY way we get accurate news from these regions.

If anyone ever doubted the revolutionary, real-time impact of Social Media, this photo easily dispels those misconceptions....

Amir: you have a fan for life. I hope you do win the Pulitzer Prize. I think you got the iconic photo of the election protests. This one should hang in Newseum's Pulitzer Gallery. Can you tell us how you shot it, and give us more details about what was going on in your head as you pressed the shutter button? To everyone else, don't you love friendfeed?

Amir: when I took photojournalism at San Jose State University one quote stuck in my mind from all those classes over the years "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." That quote was from Robert Capa, here's an article in Time Magazine about it: http://www.time.com/time... You have gotten close enough. Congrats, I can't even imagine trying to get this close. I hope all comes out well for your country and you.

Funny, this made me notice that I'm subscribed to AMC's Twitter but not Rosen's. It's probably because Rosen participates here as well, where AMC does not.

Huh? You lost me. What does that have to do with the distorting influence of the suggsted users list?

@NiemanLab has really been way ahead of everyone lately when it comes to real-live reporting of what's going on in certain corners of the news business. Including this, video from the @nytimes R&D team labs...

"Because there's too much ad inventory on the Internet, Time Inc. publications including SI.com, Time.com, CNNMoney.com and EW.com will experiment with mixing paid and free content in the next 8 months."

"I utterly and completely agree with this quote. The painful truth is that bloggers in many cases have more editorial oversight than many "journalists," in the sense that their readership is quick to correct less than adept writing."

Andrew Keen is doing live action role playing, a necessary task in an era of sefl-congratulatory Web twopointopianism.

I can't be at the OII this afternoon, but I'm amused at the global Twittering about Keen speaking there right now — and wondering who's chairing the Larry Sanger/Keen session: that will be an interesting job ...
