Promoting spirituality, confronting cultural invasion, our need in media today: Ayatollah Ramazani

On Sunday, May 8, 2022, the introductory meeting of the members of the Policymaking and Planning Council of ABNA News Agency was held in Tehran. In the meeting, which was chaired by Ayatollah Reza Ramazani, Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly, the appointment letters of the members of the council were given to them by the Secretary-General.

ABNA must make news stream

At the beginning of the meeting, which was held on Sunday morning, May 8, 2022, in Tehran, referring to the approach of ABNA News Agency, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “ABNA news agency should be the voice of the Shiites of the world by carefully analyzing the situation and taking an active stance. It should strive to correct extremist views, and to educate and enhance knowledgeable views to create rational logic.”

“ABNA News Agency must have excellent actions against the cultural invasion of the Western media empire. We need to be proactive in these areas, and our approaches must be active - not passive. To do this, we need to create a ‘news line’ and make ‘news stream’,” he continued.

“So far, the news agency has carried out this active approach and effective news stream, which needs to be increased. For example, during the events in Quetta, ABNA prevented a crisis,” stated the former president of the European Union of Shiite theologians.

“We need to introduce spirituality, justice and culture of resistance in a precise and comprehensive way. Resistance paves the way for the spread of divine mercy in the international community,” added the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

Referring to the need to pay attention to the “statement of the second phase of the Islamic Revolution”, Ayatollah Ramazani stated, “All the axes of the statement of the second phase of the Islamic Revolution can be a guide for us in the international arena. For example, the ethics and spirituality that are emphasized in this statement are very needed in the media today.”

“ABNA News Agency should have coordination and synergy with similar news agencies,” he emphasized, “This issue requires us to have a group of experts and thinkers in this news agency to work in the field of policymaking, planning and intellectual support of ABNA news agency. Therefore, the present team has been formed and other experts will be added in the future.”

“In the inspections carried out in the Assembly, the activities of ABNA have been evaluated as successful and emphasis has been placed on strengthening it. In this period of the Assembly’s management, we pay special attention to strengthening the five axes of local assemblies, missionaries, AhlulBayt (a.s.) University, ABNA News Agency, and WikiShia Encyclopedia,” pointed out, the Secretary-General of the AhlulBayt (a.s.) World Assembly.

After the speech of the Secretary-General, Hojat al-Islam Hosseini Aref, CEO of AhlulBayt (a.s.) News Agency-ABNA, presented a brief report on the approaches and manner of news policymaking of this agency in its 15 years of activity. Then Mr. Sharifi, Mr. Khojasteh, Mr. Zarean, Mr. Kalantari, and Mr. Rashid expressed their views.
