By Kevin Open Letter to the Management of Euronews and DW
Serious concerns have emerged regarding the conduct of certain members of your Persian-language services. It increasingly appears that parts of your #Persian #editorial staff are openly promoting narratives aligned with the political agenda of #BenjaminNetanyahu and #RezaPahlavi rather than maintaining the neutrality expected of international public broadcasters.
Such behavior is deeply troubling. #Euronews and #DeutscheWelle present themselves as credible and independent media organizations committed to professional journalism.
When your platforms are used to advance the interests of specific political figures or factions, it undermines both journalistic integrity and the trust of Persian-speaking audiences.
Your audience deserves balanced reporting, not political advocacy disguised as journalism. The current situation raises legitimate questions about editorial oversight and professional accountability within your Persian-language departments.
I urge your leadership to seriously review the editorial practices of these sections and ensure that they adhere to the fundamental principles of fairness, neutrality, and responsible journalism.
Failure to address these concerns risks further damaging the credibility of your organizations among the very audiences you claim to serve.
