      Media Literacy Educator & Journalist

      In my career, I've launched different fields of activities as in journalism, English language teaching, International affairs consultant and the media literacy education. I have been working at the I.R.I.Broadcasting as the news caster, member of the editorial board in NOAVARAN newspaper, sport editor at Azadi weekly. To do the recent media activity, I started establishing the Association of Iran Media Literacy (AIMEL) to be able to promote the media and information literacy among our audience. Working as a columnist in the journals and T.V presentation has endowed me a good expertise to share my knowledge in the media content and its analysis to my audience, so I have had many interviews with our counterparts in other countries mostly, at the U.S to use their their expertise in our media literacy leadership. We are ready to share and study in different branches for a mutual benefit. At the present time, I am the media educator and media consultant at the Ministry of Education in Iran. Show less
