Kambiz Norouzi: IRIB has been removed from the people’s media basket
Kambiz Norouzi, a legal expert and media issues analyst, in response to the new proposal by the Legal Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly regarding the legal and judicial pursuit of false news, stated that those pursuing such ideas overlook a fundamental point: the reason for the public’s inclination towards using various platforms like Telegram, Instagram, and WhatsApp is that professional media in the country are unable to meet the news and analytical needs of the audience.
IRIB, which has largely been removed from the people’s media basket, and the press are under various pressures that prevent them from performing their professional work properly, and gradually, media authority has been stripped from the country’s internal media. People, like with any other need, turn to other sources.
