Journalism in Iran From mission to profession Hossein Shahidi The new ISIS Iranian Studies series published by Routledge will provide a venue for the publication of original and innovative scholarly works in all areas of Iranian and Persianate Studies. Since 1967 the International Society for Iranian Studies (ISIS) has been a leading learned society for the advancement of new approaches in the study of Iranian society, history, culture, and literature. Iranian Studies Edited by Homa Katouzian University of Oxford He was a journalist and journalist trainer for more than twenty years, mostly at the BBC World Service, and Gender and Media Specialist with the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) in Afghanistan (2003–04). Hossein Shahidi teaches Communication at the American University of Beirut. Written to pay homage to Iranian journalists, without ignoring their shortcomings, this richly systemic evaluation of journalism in Iran will appeal to scholars and students of Iranian Studies, as well as anyone interested in Media Studies and Middle Eastern Studies. Relying on critique of the Iranian media by journalists and academics writing in Iran, Hossein Shahidi argues that urgent and thorough reform of editorial policies and practices in Iran’s major media organizations is vital to provide the public with the regular flow of high quality information that is needed for a healthy society. Separate chapters are dedicated to Iranian women’s contribution to journalism organization, education, and training of journalists and the legal framework in which Iranian journalists have had to work since the country’s first Press Law was introduced, following the 1906 Constitutional Revolution. Radio and television which have almost always been controlled by the state, and the much younger but fast growing online journalism, are discussed separately to provide a fuller picture of Iran’s media environment. The study focuses on newspapers, the only segment of the Iranian media where independent journalism has had an opportunity to develop. The author provides a social, political, and economic context for the work of Iranian journalists who have received attention by the international media mostly as victims of repeated attacks on the press or detentions of media workers. The book is aimed at finding out the extent to which journalism in Iran has approached the idea and practices of media professionalism that are common in the West. Journalism in Iran charts the development of the profession in Iran since the 1979 Revolution that replaced the monarchy with an Islamic Republic.
