I'm an Iranian boy .Gosh.... I can't believe this story. Much to my regret, I can't buy the book cuz I'm in Iran.

Note to Michael ... OTM did not break the story. As the summary above tells us, Neda Soltani has written a book about her experience.

Wow. Superb story, esp. if you actually broke this. What an indictment of the mindless soulless juggernaut the media can be. Disgraceful, BUT considering the nature of the despicable murderous mullahs and their vested interest in corrupting and denying this story... somewhat understandable. Hope this woman can overcome the "Jacobs Ladder" rumors of her death. Here's a suggestion: a joint foundation by the major guilty press outlets that perpetuated this terrible mistake to fork over $200-500K to poor Neda2. Before she sues them for $5 million for almost destroying her life.

Great story. Did you try to followup with CNN, Fox, etc? I would like to hear what the producers had to say for themselves.

It was fascinating to hear the report about less-than-careful media reporting in the social media age (like the CNN fail) compares with such a thoughtful, well-prepared interview. Brooke Gladstone's interview was a fine example of exceptional producing & interviewing: timeless subject matter, a compelling interviewee and how an interviewer, with such few words, could illicit such powerful thoughts about who we are as producers and consumers of media. You made it sound so easy -- thank you.

Honestly, one of the most moving interviews I've ever listened to. I'm amazed Brooke was able to not break down sobbing by the end.

Excellent story Brooke! I was wondering your thoughts on the drone videographer that spoke at Mashable yesterday... and how the "un checked" sources contributes to mistaken identity. Seems like drone video reporting is a slippery slope.

Extraordinary story. Terrific interview. But who wrote that lead-in? She was "killed after being shot"????????????? Certainly she died after being shot. Certainly she was shot dead. But you make it sound as if the shooting and her killing were two separate acts. How incredibly sloppy!!
