A Heartfelt Message to You and Strong Advice to Advertising Contractors and Election Promoters
As I previously elaborated in a note regarding the approach of Abdi Media during similar electoral conditions, out of respect for professional ethics and other considerations, and to avoid falling into the traps set by competitors or settling political, group, or factional scores, or targeted information, we refrain from accepting any financial or friendly offers, or commissioned reports for publishing content in favor of or against the candidates in this presidential election, whether they are prominent candidates or those whom the Guardian Council will approve.
I will only publish information that serves an informational purpose. This includes comments made during televised debates or points that may need to be shared in writing with you, or other related topics.
I state clearly that Abdi Media is not a contractor for any individual or group to have a share of the money disbursed for electoral advertising.
Although neither I nor anyone else dislikes money, and advertising is essential for the continuation of any news channel, I believe this money is not clean, and I will never trade my professional integrity for something worthless like money.
Therefore, considering that I monitor all news and am somewhat aware of the circumstances of news reports, I strongly advise advertising contractors and election promoters not to contact me regarding such commissions.
Moreover, as I have always stated, I am not a political activist and have no recommendations regarding participation or non-participation in the elections.
It is evident that I am merely an independent journalist narrating events while adhering to professional ethics, not a political activist.
Once again, I sincerely reiterate: My only wish is for the awareness of the people and the pride of Iran.
