One great advantage of the digital media revolution is the ability to access a wide range of views on current news events direct from a variety of sources. By directly accessing the American media you can contemplate the United State's position that Iran is part of an "axis of evil". The Iranian media has an opposing perspective and this can also be received with ease by digital satellite in Australia and New Zealand.
Regardless of your views of the political and social conditions in Iran, the country has a rich history dating from the 6th century BC. Along with spectacular ancient cities, mosques and landscape, Iran's media offers an absorbing and often intriguing insight into a country which is never far from the headlines in the western world.
A number of digital television and radio outlets from Iran are available via the Asiasat 2 satellite to the Pacific region.
Alalam News Channel
