Journalism from Iran
I humbly bow to Rooz Online, a prime source of indy news from Iran, available also in English. The site has a neat layout, date indexed headlines, internal search engine and RSS.
Their about page says:
Rooz is published on the Internet every morning, Iranian time. The first issue appeared on May 10, 2005. Rooz is not published on Fridays and Saturdays.
This daily is published by independent and reformist journalist and advocates of human rights and freedom inside and outside Iran. Its policies are determined by an editorial board.
Publisher: Iran Gooya media group, registered in France on January 21, 2005.
Now that's the stuff I am talking about. I have been completely unaware of it's existence, even if it dates way back.
I assume it has, all of a sudden, gained tremendous relevance to a broader audience.

For an equally granulated view and unparalleled professionalism in reporting there is, of course, TehranBureau, an independent news agency based in USA, specializing in reports and analysis of Iran related events.
Launched in May 2009, Tehran Bureau is the premier source of news on Iran and the Iranian diaspora in the English language.
The
stories on Tehran Bureau are shaped by Iranians in Iran and the Middle
East, foreigners viewing or interacting with Iranian culture for the
first time, and hyphenated Iranians best suited to bridge the cultures
- nuanced viewpoints that you won't find anywhere else.
Gozaar is s forum of human rights in Iran featuring articles by numerous leading Iranian scholars, system critics and dissenters.
Via TehranBureau I stumbled upon a special section about Iran on Nieman Reports. The site digs into the problems of reporting in a repressive environment, getting and protecting sources, keeping the ethics of journalism. Very valuable contribution.
Journalists — Iranians and Westerners — share their firsthand
experiences as they write about the challenges they confront in
gathering and distributing news and information about Iran and its
people. Their words and images offer a rare blend of insights about
journalists’ lives and work in Iran.
