Javad Mojabi Funeral: Writers and Artists Gather to Say Goodbye to the Celebrated Poet and Critic

Javad Mojabi and Iranian Journalism

Journalism was one of the most important parts of Mojabi’s professional life.

For approximately 19 years, he worked for the Ministry of Justice before becoming a cultural expert at the Ministry of Culture and Arts.

At the same time, he developed a professional career in journalism.

One of his most important journalistic positions was as cultural editor at Ettela’at newspaper, where he worked between 1968 and 1978.

This period was particularly important in the development of his intellectual identity.

Newspapers and literary journals were major spaces for cultural debate in Iran during the 1960s and 1970s.

Writers did not necessarily restrict themselves to books.
