Abbas Abdi considers media criticism as hostility towards the government
Abbas Abdi wrote in the Etemad newspaper
One of the problems that media and journalists are grappling with is the perception that exists about their critical publications. The government perceives media criticism as being against it and as hostility. Even some opponents of the government have such an interpretation and therefore welcome this opposition to the government. However, there is another approach that considers criticisms beneficial to the government and state, creating an opportunity for their reform.
Even if they do not want to accept such an interpretation, in practice they are forced to consider these criticisms and strive to reform their policies.
