National Iranian Radio and Television (NIRT)

National Iranian Radio and Television (NIRT) is Iran's state-run broadcasting organization, responsible for television and radio programming across the country. Established in the 1930s, it plays a central role in disseminating news, cultural content, and government messages. NIRT operates multiple channels in Persian and other languages, aiming to unite the diverse population of Iran through media. The organization is significant in shaping public opinion and culture but is often critiqued for lacking editorial independence and promoting state propaganda. In recent years, it has expanded its online presence to reach a broader audience.
