In the New Yorker: Online Only, Laura Secor offers not only a trenchant comment on the “Burning Silence in Iran," but also a useful insight on what seems to be going on in that country. I found her piece via The Lede, a news blog at the New York Times that is offering a constant stream of interesting stories on Iran from a variety of online sources.

If that is not enough, Global Voices has special coverage of the 2009 Iranian elections. While this outlet is always important for offering perspectives often overlooked by the mainstream media, its importance has grown during the current crisis, during which authorities have cut off traditional media from firsthand knowledge of the streets. Also interesting are the Iran Updates on the Iranian-American site, Tehran Bureau. They include reports from inside Iran.
