On May first this year the Government of Ahmadinejad introduced new regulation for News Agencies. One of the regulation says that; if the " media supervising panel " decided to ban a news agency from publication, the communication ministry has the duty to " filter" that news agency right away. One other items in the regulation asks the journalists to name their sources. Mr. Moghadasi on opposition to Government view says: "the source is journalist himself and sometimes it is in the interest of the society that; not to name the source." These and other pressure from Government on media and journalists create a situation which the Committee to Protect Journalists in New York rank Iran in the 4th place for censorship.
