Many Iranian royalists, as well as many who were against the monarchy and are opposed to Iran's current, Islamic government, have accused the BBC Persian Service of supporting the Islamic Republic.
Once the Iranian newspapers themselves were placed on the internet, the flow of information was reversed: now Iranians abroad were seeking news about Iran from newspapers inside the country.

The experiences of Iranian refugees and immigrants in Germany and Canada suggest that both the availability of support from minority or immigrant 'native' cultures and opportunities to participate in the host culture (as indicated through social networks) are beneficial to the development of personal autonomy and satisfaction (by any number of measures).
Iranian women's organizations sent speakers to schools and public places to respond and several monographs were written in German by Iranians or German/Iranian teams.6 The book served as a catalyst among both Iranians and others for discussing general attitudes and stereotypes about Iranians.
Likewise, while Iranians in large urban areas enjoy access to various Iranian media, Naficy (1993) describes not only how difficult it is for minorities to control their own images in the majority media, but also how minority media also chooses to project selective images of a culture.

 North American media help Iran protests grow
Some experts call it a "media movement" or a "satellite revolution." But whatever the label, one thing is clear: A growing network of Iranian American media outlets -- from television to radio to Web sites -- is helping spark the student-led protests erupting in that Islamic nation.
Zia Atabay, the founder of National Iranian Television, which is known as NITV and is one of the most popular satellite networks, says Rafsanjani's remarks are proof that NITV and other stations are having an effect.
It is fueling their calls for change, at a time when the state-controlled media are either ignoring the protests or putting a government spin on them, experts say.

In a speech during a media festival that was attended by conservative crowds, Culture Minister Saffar Harandi declared that to get a license to start a publication would require the applicants to show that their publication is different from existing ones and is thus unique.

Mobilizing the Iranian people for change is clearly expressed in the continued U.S media coverage of the demonstrations in an attempt to portray them as the most important events on the Iranian scene, notwithstanding the fact that these demonstrations were much smaller than those which took place in 1999.

US Jewish leaders are appealing to exiled Iranian media groups to tell their countrymen in Iran about the World War II Holocaust that Iran's president last month dismissed as a "myth," officials said.

The drive by the Jewish group came after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said last month that the massacre of Jews by Nazis during World War II was a "myth," and that the Jewish state should be moved as far away as Alaska.
