World Stories - Revolutions in Iran

Exploring Iran's media revolution of blogs, social networking sites, mobile phones and Bluetooth... and a past media revolution.

Iran is facing a media revolution through blogs, social networking sites and mobile phone technology.

Ideas and pictures are reaching people across the globe every day in a matter of seconds.

Old and new revolutionaries explore how the two movements compare.
