They have to bear the problems which are common in Iranian journalism and also they have to bear extra pressure special to their region.” His simile is quite interesting to mention: “if journalism in Iran is similar to walking in a minefield; local journalism is like crawling in a minefield.” He states: “managers of local media find this field as a business and political campaign. They believe they can achieve higher positions or bonuses through their local media. They might adopt some policies behind the curtains and at the end of the day newsroom staffs fall victim of such policies.”
