Contents Introduction -- Religion, state and culture: beyond Islamic exceptionalism -- Is there an Islamic communication theory? -- Iranian press: the paradox of 'modernity' -- Emerging public spheres and the limits of the press -- Press, state and civil society: illusions and realities -- Media policy under the Islamic Republic: rights, institutional interests, and control -- The politics of broadcasting: continuity and change, expansion and control -- Women's press and the gendered nature of the public sphere -- Conclusion
Summary This book provides an overview of the expansion of the Iranian communication system, examining the political economy of this process and arguing that the nature of Iranian media in general and the press in particular, cannot be understood simply in terms of "Islamic ideology" or the false dichotomy of "modernity" versus "tradition."
