As of 2016, Iran had 178 newspapers, 83 magazines, 15,000 information sites and 2 million blogs.[1] A special court has authority to monitor the print media and may suspend publication or revoke the licenses of papers or journals that a jury finds guilty of publishing anti-religious material, slander, or information detrimental to the national interest. The Iranian media is prohibited from criticizing the Islamic doctrines (as interpreted by the Iranian government).[citation needed]
