Andrew Sullivan has been an exemplary blogger this weekend covering the Iranian elections. Posting pictures from flickr, accounts from all over the web, graphs, analysis from his political allies and enemies, translations of Persian-language sites from readers, and corrections whenever needed.
Similarly, the New York Times is keeping tabs on it via a blog as well. This is the kind of event well-suited to a blog, whether you're a one-man blogger or a large newspaper. Part of the story is how the Iranians are protesting and organizing using Flickr, YouTube, and Twitter. As information comes out, you can post small snippets of information. The story becomes clear out over the many posts.
Here's a simple post from Sullivan, entitled "How to Tell Who the Good Guys Are":
They're the ones who sometimes rescue a beleaguered riot policeman.
Great photograph, but also one of the 70 or so blog posts he's put up this weekend.
A very interesting weekend of reading on many blog-fronts.
