Kambiz Norouzi: IRIB has been removed from the people’s media basket
Kambiz Norouzi, a lawyer and media affairs expert, in response to the new plan by the Legal Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly regarding the legal and judicial pursuit of false news, said those who pursue such ideas overlook a fundamental point: what leads the public to turn to 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 people’s media basket, and the press are under various pressures that prevent them from performing their professional duties properly, and gradually the media authority has been stripped from the country’s domestic media. People, like with any other need they have, turn to other sources.
