Fars News: No Personal Blog for our Staff
By Kamangir • May 4th, 2008 • Category: Iran
Hamid Reza Moghadam-Far, the head of the state-run Fars News, when asked, “As the head of a major media outlet, do you already have a blog or plan to start one? “, stated [Persian],
I am not for what has become a trend for journalists to be active in the media and write their own blogs at the same time. The fact that a journalist (who already has the tools to communicate with the public) is going to spend a lot of time on his/her personal blog, more than leading to spreading information, is geared towards satisfying one’s need to be known by the public. We have banned this issue in Fars News … and a few cases have been prosecuted. [not exact translation]
