Community press in Iran, almost always under threat of various political, ideological and security had been, but always the same period due to tolerance has not experienced these pressures.
Yesterday (Monday 13 May), the World Press Freedom Day, when a similar situation last year coming back, we see, despite all the pressures and discrimination against different celebration was held in Tehran and five newspapers Journalists in the top 88 received awards.
Last year, this day, with Ms. Bdaralsadat useful, secretary of the Guild of Journalists, which are now in prison, has ended well with her rural wise, one of the five journalists won the top award, said Vgvhayy done.
But today I Vgvy said Ms. Farzaneh rural, maybe more living picture of increased pressure on community journalism to lose Iran.
In last year's Vgvy rural women, on the occasion of this day, the low rate of circulation of newspapers increased pressure on the community press, and noted how this journalistic activities in Iran before you always River.
Ms. Farzaneh village at that time in response to this question said:
Combination of Iranian society Combining advanced European societies are different. Segments of newspaper reader could follow the words of political communities in underdeveloped, compared to advanced European countries is not a big range, but the impact of this range is enormous.
For example, total circulation reformist newspapers, half the European average circulation of a newspaper do not appear, but the effect on society makes, one of the most influential newspapers in Europe is higher. Cultural and political differences should not Iranian society and advanced societies, we neglected.
That is because we say that, although the low Tyrazhman, Tasyrman quite like a political activity is focused on the impact and Bhhmyn reason is that journalism job much luck and welcome in the society of Iran.
Although the job is suppressed, although the problem that journalists suffer from problems and suffering from significant psychological and financial pressure, but still younger generation of our society welcomes this job.
During the past year, in addition to Ms. Bdralsadat useful, secretary Association of journalists, many of his colleagues were arrested and are in jail has ended. Many have left the country and the location of this forum is seals.
Rural wise say: a lot of trouble to Kshydym "Journalists Association" was formed in Iran. But today this forum has seals
Ms. Farzaneh village, today called:
Kshydym to bother us much, "Journalists Association" was formed in Iran. Iranian journalists were integrated, the board of directors for their advice and were formed for the common problems of employment and to pursue their rights.
But today this forum has seals. Association president and another member of its Board of Directors, Mr. Zeidabadi, are in prison. In the meantime a large number of board members of the association of journalists in prison or have a minimum period of imprisonment or have experienced.
Is that I feel, except that much space in the press is closed, no job and writing the news media - into political career in a very high and is risky. Because of that Iranian society today, many are leaving their job.
You think these situations impact on Iranian society In general and in connection with matters after the election, what would be explicitly?
Of course, a very negative point for the community of Iran. However, no one in Bdynlhaz related issues will not talk and nobody will Khbrrsany. No real information Bhmrdm not said anything and no one except the government propaganda that is presented to people, does not provide for the people.
I feel that we have been a disaster threshold. Space can be said that journalism in the past year since Bhnvy exposed destruction has been complete.
Press were highly threatened, newspaper serial basis, one after the other closed and journalists were arrested in the mass basis, were imprisoned and suffered numerous tragedies.
Can you talk to that you have picked the worst era in journalism or experience some other periods are comparable?
We can say that one of the worst times to press Iran Gzranym. One of the most closed space behind the press treat and one of the era Prfshartryn Gzranym journalists are subject to many threats and pressure and have a tragedy.
This time economically, politically and also ... to be evaluated.
I think that during the current period is quite poignancy. Bhnzrm, this time with no other point can not be compared. I hope the Iranian society, never offends point before that to compare it with today.
Thus, what role should now press for the Iranian society was allowed, namely the past that sometimes social change and political events played a central role?
Now the definition of community journalism in Iran you can say any news or an article and write a report that you prepared before the initiatives that give money to your ability Get all your work, your resources and recommend that before the death of journalism Vfn enjoy, you have to censor yourself.
In fact, what is journalism, journalism in Iran and what we experience in this field remains, that we become a professional censor have been. For us that's not because of our package for the series because of a note or article we should not follow the question.
Exit wave of journalists from the country's progressive and unemployment among them How do you evaluate?
I think, fundamentally new interpretation of journalism and the press in Iran has to be written and removed news, analysis removed, and the limit is Nnvshtn.
The reason for this is that because most journalists are made to leave the country because many of those who separated from their job of journalism, the profession, leave and enter the parallel jobs are Bhbarty , try to benefit their business if they can not take at least a rim of security that they are strengthening.
Ms. rural journalists during the recent events one year or more ago have left the country or for whatever reason, the journalists who work abroad, many have tried so Bhmvqyt Current Newspapers help bring journalists inside. Your opinion, what about their activities with community journalism within the established, and it had a certain impact or will?
The fact is that due to pressures that exist so limited and closed society is that although many friends and colleagues who are abroad, they are efforts to try to create campaigns that , but space is limited here so that I feel are doing things that are outside, not inside any effect on.
I want to repeat: When Secretary of the Guild of Journalists without explanation, is a long time in jail and this takes time, in days long been kept in solitary confinement, other than what you you advocate? Nothing else left to be able to save him.
