If you want to keep up with events in Egypt as they unfold but not be overwhelmed, here’s our carefully selected list of the best sources.

Live-blog: The Guardian’s, which updates automatically without your needing to refresh the browser.

Live TV feed from Tahrir Square: Reuters‘, which you can shrink down to a small window on your desktop.

TV feed with commentary: Al-Jazeera English, which isn’t exclusively focused on Egypt but is good when it is.
