Zamaneh Media

Zamaneh Media is a Persian language media organization based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It provides independent journalism, citizen reporting, e-learning, debate and knowledge to an audience in Iran and the Persian speaking community around the world, building bridges between Iran and the Iranian diaspora and between different Persian speaking communities, such as in Afghanistan and Central Asia. It is a public media that gives a voice to the unheard: geographic, ethnic and sexual minorities, young Iranians, experts, writers, bloggers and independent academic thinkers are all engaged in conversations about a wide range of issues that are considered public taboos in present-day Iran. Radio Zamaneh’s editorial output focusses on reports, analyses, commentaries, blogs, debates and films about social, economic, cultural and political topics, press and internet freedom, human rights and democracy. At the same time, it hosts Zamaneh Tribune, a secure online platform where Iranian citizen reporters and human rights activists can upload, share and discuss multimedia reports on human rights and democracy and enter into debate with each other. Zamaneh Media provided close to 4000 Iranians with online education in Persian on independent journalism, multimedia reporting and digital security. Its different web platforms yielded over 12 million visits last year.
