On the 500th Issue.

At a time when the press was under severe pressure and news dissemination was practically very limited, Rooz Online picked up the task and reflected the news. It was in fact the first experience that had a very good impact.

The fact that Rooz Online publishes new material everyday, which are analytic, is very commendable particularly when the atmosphere was against news dissemination and analysis. Rooz has completely changed the Internet news dissemination scene. But today’s Rooz requires a critique. Rooz is no longer the same publication it was a few months ago. In any case, in the scene that Rooz defined for itself as an Internet publication, it performed very well.

Rooz embarked on presenting news about domestic Iranian groups and political activists at a time when this was perhaps not possible for other publications.
