Tehran Times
Encyclopedia
Tehran Times began its work in 1979 as a foreign language newspaper
to air the voice of the Islamic Revolution
. The policy that the newspaper has been following has been based on the guideline set by the revered martyr Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Beheshti who said: Tehran Times is not state-owned
newspaper (Tehran Times is not the newspaper of government), rather it must be the voice of the Islamic Revolution
and the oppressed people in the world.” (Tehran Times must be the voice of the Islamic Revolution and the oppressed people in the world.) Since the beginning of the current Iranian calendar year (which started on March 21, 2011) all the newspaper’s pages are printed in color.
In 2002, Tehran Times established a news agency which later came to be known as the Mehr News Agency
(MNA). Now, Tehran Times and the MNA
are run by a single management system with MNA staff triple that of Tehran Times.
The management system has decided to expand the activities of the newspaper by publishing it in some foreign countries. For example, efforts has been started to publish 2000 print versions of the newspaper in Malaysia in the second half of the current Iranian year (which ends on March 19, 2012).
The Sri Lanka Mass Media Foundation (SMMF) has selected the Tehran Times as the best news website in Asia in 2010.
