EA WorldView


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

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.

Organisation

Its partners include the University of Birmingham's Political Science and International Studies department and University College Dublin's Clinton Institute.
Scott Lucas is its editor.

Reception

In 2013, journalist Richard Spencer of The Daily Telegraph described the site as "a blog of admittedly variable quality".
