At the beginning of the Revolution when each group and party had its own newspaper, the Imam stated: "Bring me all of them" and contrary to newspaper reading norm when normally, individuals paid more attention to headings and sub-titles rather than the contents, the Imam before anything else gave importance to the way of thinking of the newspaper journalists and their political tendencies. Thus, every morning, the dailies "Mizan",Jumhuri-ye Islami, Azadegan and in the evenings, the evening dailies "Inqilab-e Islami", "Ittila'at" and "Keyhan" would be delivered to him on time. In many instances when they were delivered late, the Imam would personally come out and enquire about the late delivery of the newspapers. Although sometimes the news was disagreeable and we could not deliver them to the Imam, however, his intense persistence to read the newspapers would prevail over us. In many instances, he would send newspaper cuttings to the office and write a note asking us to "investigate the matter" and "ask the authorities for clarification" or he would want to know "why the newspaper had printed such a subject."
