Editing Andrew Sullivan (section)

====Iran====
Sullivan devoted a significant amount of blog space to the allegations of fraud and related protests after the [[2009 Iranian presidential election]]. Francis Wilkinson of ''[[The Week]]'' said that Sullivan's "coverage—and that journalism term takes on new meaning here—of the uprising in Iran was nothing short of extraordinary. 'Revolutionary' might be a better word."<ref>{{cite news |first=Francis |last=Wilkinson |url=http://www.theweek.com/article/index/98673/The_future_belongs_to_Andrew_Sullivan |title=The future belongs to Andrew Sullivan |newspaper=[[The Week]] |access-date=4 December 2013 |archive-date=7 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131207102646/http://theweek.com/article/index/98673/The_future_belongs_to_Andrew_Sullivan |url-status=live }}</ref>

Sullivan was inspired by the Iranian people's reactions to the election results and used his blog as a hub of information. Because of the media blackout in Iran, Iranian Twitter accounts were a major source of information. Sullivan frequently quoted and linked to [[Nico Pitney]] of ''[[The Huffington Post]]''.<ref>{{cite web |last=Sullivan |first=Andrew |url=http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/06/is-iran-calming-down.html |title=Is Iran Calming Down? |website=[[The Atlantic]] |date=22 June 2009 |access-date=11 August 2010 |archive-date=2 February 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110202111225/http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/06/is-iran-calming-down.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
