Economic and political relations with Iran were a primary concern
for the German Democratic Republic leadership and dominated the
GDR's press. This is the first book to analyse the representation
of Iran in the media, from the GDR's formation in 1949 until 1989,
the last complete year before its demise. Covering key events, such
as the overthrow of the Mossadegh government in 1953, the White
Revolution, the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and the Iran-Iraq war,
the author reveals that only in periods where the two countries
enjoyed less amicable or poor relations, was the press free to
critically report events in Iran and openly support the cause of
the country's communist party, the Tudeh. The book explores the use
of the press as a tool for ideological education and propaganda. It
also examines how the state's official Marxist-Leninist ideology,
the GDR's international competition with West Germany, and cultural
prejudices and stereotypes impacted reporting so powerfully.
