EA WorldView is a website specializing in news coverage and analysis of Iran,[1] Syria, the wider Middle East,[2] and Russia.

History

The site was created in 2008 by Scott Lucas, a lecturer of International Politics and American Studies at the University of Birmingham, who maintains and edits the site. It was originally known as Enduring America, where its archives can still be read.

During the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests, it liveblogged the demonstrations. EA later liveblogged the civil uprising phase of the Syrian civil war.[3] With the end of the Iranian protests and as the situation in Syria moved to a complex "dynamic stalemate", EA has since moved to providing a daily updated site monitoring mainstream and social media coverage of the region, though provided a live blog of the 2013 Iranian Presidential election.

Organisation

Its partners include the University of Birmingham's Politic Science and International Studies department (which hosts its podcast Political WorldView) and University College Dublin's Clinton Institute.

Contributors and editorial team

Scott Lucas is its editor.[2]

Reception

Journalist Richard Spencer of The Daily Telegraph described the site as "a blog of admittedly variable quality".[4]
