Submission declined on 8 September 2024 by Jamiebuba (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

The Iranian Press House (Persian: خانه مطبوعات کشور‎) is a non-governmental and non-profit organization in Iran that aims to support the rights of media professionals, improve the quality of journalistic and press activities, and provide a platform for improving the working conditions of media workers. This organization operates nationwide and collaborates with the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance to achieve professional and organizational goals for media professionals.

History

The idea of forming the Press House emerged in 2009, after recognizing the need for coordination and union support for media professionals across the country. The first press houses were established in various provinces to serve as a bridge between media professionals and the government, providing support in areas such as legal rights, education, and welfare.

For the first time nationwide, the electronic voting system for the Press House was implemented on July 5, 2017, to hold board elections. This innovative initiative marked a significant step towards transparency and ease of union elections in the media sector.

Objectives

The Iranian Press House pursues several key objectives, including:

Enhancing the quality of press and media in Iran: Through education, setting professional standards, and supporting local and national media outlets.
Supporting the rights of media professionals: As a union body, the Press House defends the legal and professional rights of journalists, reporters, and press photographers.
Facilitating administrative and union communication: It strengthens communication between media outlets and governmental and non-governmental organizations to achieve union and professional demands.
Training and capacity building: Holding training sessions to enhance the professional skills of its members is one of the primary goals of the Press House.

Activities

Some of the activities of the Press House include organizing festivals, exhibitions, conferences, and educational programs aimed at strengthening local media and improving the professional level of journalists and media professionals. The Press House also supports media outlets in addressing legal and administrative issues and provides welfare facilities for its members.

Structure

The Iranian Press House comprises provincial branches throughout the country. It operates as a council-based organization, with the board members elected from among media professionals. The board of directors is responsible for overseeing and planning the activities of the Press House, and its members are elected periodically through electronic voting.

Electronic Voting

One of the unique features of the Iranian Press House is the use of electronic voting. The first electronic election was held on July 5, 2017, which was well-received by media professionals and contributed to increased transparency in the election process. This election was conducted through the official online system of the Press House.
