Anonymous "Student in Tehran" has op-ed in tomorrow's NYT
From The Washington Note:
"For about a day, I have been quite worried about the 'Anonymous Student in Tehran' who was sending important dispatches to us of what he was seeing convulsively unfold in Iran. He had been quiet all day.
But we've just had a set of exchanges, and he's OK. I just learned that he will have an op-ed in tomorrow's New York Times under the pseudonym 'Shane M.'
It's exciting to see bloggers/twitterers living under repressive regimes demonstrating the ability of blogging/social media to make the world a more democratic place. And it's also good to see the Times embracing one of these voices, instead of keeping them separate from the "official" news.
UPDATED 6/19/2009:Our anonymous student's op-ed, A Different Iranian Revolution, is up on the NYT website.
