Rooz (Persian:روز, literally day) is a Persian and English news website. It is mostly staffed by exiled reformist Iranian journalists including Masoud Behnoud, Ebrahim Nabavi and Nikahang Kowsar with occasional articles by activists and journalists inside Iran, including Shirin Ebadi and Ahmad Zeidabadi.

It was first published on the web on May 10, 2005. It is published by "Iran Gooya" (registered in France).

Controversy

  • Critics of the website argue that since it is funded by government of the Netherlands, it works in the interest of that nation, and does not represent factual accuracy of the events.
  • In November 2006, Hossein Derakhshan, a founding member and technical director of the website, briefly discontinued his cooperation resulting the website to shut down. He stated this was in response to the non-payment of his dues, as a result of accusations of having the same viewpoints as the government of Iran.
