Shahrvand-e-Emrooz (Persian: شهروند امروز, lit. 'Today’s Citizen')[1] was a Persian-language weekly news magazine that was in circulation between March 2007 and September 2011.

History and profile

[edit | edit source]

Shahrvand-e-Emrooz was launched in March 2007.[2][3] Mohammad Ghoochani and Mohammad Reza Khojasteh Rahimi served as the editor-in-chief of the weekly.[2][4] The magazine, based in Tehran, was a reformist publication[1][5] and was the Persian version of TIME magazine.[4] Shahrvand-e-Emrooz published significant interviews with leading figures, including Hassan Rouhani in 2008 and Hassan Khomeini, grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini, in February 2008.[6][7]

Bans and closure

[edit | edit source]

Shahrvand-e-Emrooz was first closed down when it published a picture of U.S. President Barack Obama and his daughter on the cover of its 8 November 2008 issue.[8][9] The weekly was also shut down in June 2009 following the presidential election.[4] The publication resumed on 2 July 2011,[10] but it was again closed down in September 2011 due to the publication of a digital picture which mocked former President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and his confidant Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei.[11][12]
