I just discovered a great blog called Global Voices.Started in 2005, it features blogs from all over the world and is translated into 15 languages. They have more than 200 bloggers working for their site worldwide "who work together to bring you translations and reports from blogs and citizen media everywhere, with emphasis on voices that are not ordinarily heard in international mainstream media."

Their expressed goals are to:
- Call attention to the most interesting conversations and perspectives emerging from citizens’ media around the world by linking to text, photos, podcasts, video and other forms of grassroots citizens’ media.
- Facilitate the emergence of new citizens’ voices through training, online tutorials, and publicizing the ways in which open-source and free tools can be used safely by people around the world to express themselves.
- Advocate for freedom of expression around the world and protect the rights of citizen journalists to report on events and opinions without fear of censorship or persecution.

What is great about Global Voices is that they allow readers, like me, who have a website or a blog to post a newsfeed to their respective site. In an effort to broaden the information on this page and expand my blog's multimedia capabilities I have added to the right side of my blog a newsfeed of Global Voice's Iran headlines. So whenever anything happens on their site pertaining to Iran, it happens here too.
Enjoy!
