New Resource: Century Foundation Launches insideiran.org to Provide Insiders' View of Political Crisis in Iran

Century Foundation Launches insideiran.org to Provide Insiders' View of Political Crisis in Iran

The Century Foundation today launched insideiran.org, a special project taking readers inside the political crisis in Iran. The centerpiece of the project is a Web site, www.insideiran.org, which features articles, analysis, and the latest media reports from some of the world's most prominent Iranian scholars, journalists, and bloggers who are either inside the country or who live temporarily outside. The project will also feature a newsletter than can be delivered by email to those who sign up.

Century Foundation fellow and Iran analyst Geneive Abdo will lead the project and serve as editor for the Web site. The project is supported by a grant from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund.

As Iran's internal crisis continues and information from inside the country becomes even more scarce, insideiran.org will be a critical resource, providing news analysis and provocative thinking that cannot be found elsewhere. This material is particularly relevant for policymakers, as the U.S. administration prepares to talk with Iran's leaders at the highest level of negotiations since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Despite the Iranian government's attempts to impose a technological blockade, insideiran.org will tap into the networks of commentators who have managed to find innovative ways to get their voices heard outside the country.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
