Although I have little faith in citizen journalism to do real investigative work and produce the kind of long exposés we’ve seen in Vanity Fair or The New Yorker, it’s hard to argue with the power of ordinary people on the ground with cell phones and internet connections to record the unfolding of events as they happen. This has been dramatically demonstrated over the past few days by the extraordinary coverage of the Iran election protests by Nico Pitney in The Huffington Post.
