Our readers today hold the 15,000 th edition of the Tehran Times.
Reaching this milestone is no little feat, specifically for a paper whose language is not the mother tongue of its nation.
The life-span of the Tehran Times is almost as old as the Islamic Republic.Amidst the 1979 transformation, a group of devoted individuals, led by a sincere and professional Indian journalist, Mr.
Irfan Parviz Javid Ansari, understood the requirement to communicate the voice of the transformation to the world and to highlight and communicate the fact in the middle of a flood of lies.More than 46 years have passed considering that those days, and today, the flood of lies about Iran has not only persisted however has grown in strength and intricacy.
This circumstance makes the objective by me and my colleagues at the paper a lot more significant.Now the paper is the product of the professional and truthful work of a small but dedicated and nimble team.
While our competitors outside Iran, with hundreds of reporters and considerable spending plans, are busy painting a distorted picture of Iran, our little personnel, wrestling with restricted resources, strives to deliver their best and present a precise and realistic photo of Iran to our readers.Today, the Tehran Times archive, with 15,000 editions, represents a special and rich history of the post-revolution Iran in English.
Reaching this point is the result of the efforts of hundreds of reporters who, regardless of various ups and downs for many years, have kept this light alive.On this journey, you, our dear readers, hold a special place for us.
