Hossein Derakhshan is on his way to Israel, which is unusual for a native Iranian. “As a citizen journalist, I’m going to show my 20,000 daily Iranian readers what Israel really looks like and how people live there.”

Hossein Derakhshan, founding father of the influential Iranian blogging movement, is visiting Iran and needs your financial support. He’s going to cover the trip as a citizen journalist but warns that he may be detained, questioned, thrown in jail, be forced to make false statements, etc.
