ReviewsMedia Persian by Dominic Brookshaw fills a noticeable gap both for students of Persian language and also for others interested in Persian and in getting first-hand information from the media of Iran and other Persian-speaking countries. Available bilingual dictionaries by and large are not up-to-date, especially in regards to the constantly evolving and changing lexical items used in print, in the audio-visual media, and on the internet. Professor Brookshaw has provided us with a very useful and accessible guide to the current vocabulary found in contemporary Persian media culture, covering a range of topics from politics to economics, from human rights to trade, from technology to law and order, and from energy to sport.
