The situation in Iran is extremely heart breaking and saddening, with innocent people being killed for political reasons.
In these times, when there is are strong regulations on media within the country, social media tools like Twitter are allowing the Iranian people to speak out and tell the world the truth behind the stories. For example, it has been through such social networks like Facebook and Twitter that we got to see the killing of the young Iranian girl, Neda.
It has been really tragic how her family has been asked to leave their house and to grieve alone.
This message goes out to the people of Iran that you are not alone.
But it is also important that such social media act responsibly and do not exaggerate, exploit or misrepresent the truth.

This is the world of "media"
Where media has facilitate our lives, it is also a threat to us.
But its in our hands to use it wisely or in destructive ways.
i'm a student of media so now i have got the chance of seeing media from very close.
Our professor Always say "Absolute freedom is neither desirable nor acceptable"
So,one should be careful not to exploit and exaggerate the facts,i agree!
