Listen to Julie and Tom cover a hot topic - how Twitter, facebook, flickr, youtube and other viewer created content brought the Iranian elections and resulting demonstrations to the US even if the major networks would not. Julie tells us about this and more on how technology is affecting democracy, increasing transparency and how people can become better citizen journalists. Reach out to her on the IPDI website at www.ipdi.org and on Twitter, @JulieG.
We also found that the viewer created content channel, Current - www.current.com, is covering the elections as well as, if not better than the larger networks.
