The World

Most representatives of the foreign press have been expelled from Iran. Who’s covering the story now, and how trustworthy is the reporting?

Kouross Esmaeli is an Iranian-American independent journalist and filmmaker who has worked for Al-Jazeera English. Ramin Talaie is an Iranian-American freelance photojournalist with dual citizenship. He is just back from covering the June 12th elections and the unrest there for Bloomberg and The New York Times.
