The Iranian Press House (Persian: خانه مطبوعات کشور) is a non-governmental and non-profit organization in Iran that aims to support the rights of media professionals, improve the quality of journalistic and press activities, and provide a platform for improving the working conditions of media workers. This organization operates nationwide and collaborates with the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to achieve professional and organizational goals for media professionals.
History
editThe idea of forming the Press House emerged in 2009, after recognizing the need for coordination and union support for media professionals across the country. The first press houses were established in various provinces to serve as a bridge between media professionals and the government, providing support in areas such as legal rights, education, and welfare.
For the first time nationwide, the electronic voting system for the Press House was implemented on July 5, 2017, to hold board elections. This innovative initiative marked a significant step towards transparency and ease of union elections in the media sector.
Objectives
editThe Iranian Press House pursues several key objectives, including:
- Enhancing the quality of press and media in Iran: Through education, setting professional standards, and supporting local and national media outlets.
- Supporting the rights of media professionals: As a union body, the Press House defends the legal and professional rights of journalists, reporters, and press photographers.
- Facilitating administrative and union communication: It strengthens communication between media outlets and governmental and non-governmental organizations to achieve union and professional demands.
- Training and capacity building: Holding training sessions to enhance the professional skills of its members is one of the primary goals of the Press House.
Activities
editSome of the activities of the Press House include organizing festivals, exhibitions, conferences, and educational programs aimed at strengthening local media and improving the professional level of journalists and media professionals. The Press House also supports media outlets in addressing legal and administrative issues and provides welfare facilities for its members.
Structure
editThe Iranian Press House comprises provincial branches throughout the country. It operates as a council-based organization, with the board members elected from among media professionals. The board of directors is responsible for overseeing and planning the activities of the Press House, and its members are elected periodically through electronic voting.
Electronic Voting
editOne of the unique features of the Iranian Press House is the use of electronic voting. The first electronic election was held on July 5, 2017, which was well-received by media professionals and contributed to increased transparency in the election process. This election was conducted through the official online system of the Press House.
