Mass media in Iran

The mass media in Iran is both privately and publicly owned but all channels are subject to censorship. In 2016, Iran had 178 newspapers, 83 magazines, 15,000 information sites and two million blogs. The Islamic Revolutionary Court has authority to monitor the print media and may suspend publication or revoke the licenses of papers or journals that a jury finds guilty of publishing material deemed anti-religious, slanderous or detrimental to the national interest.

The Mass Media Regulatory Authority Organization is one of the main regulatory controllers of mass media in Iran.
