DIAR: the news readers choose

DIAR has two parts: a page where readers find the most important news of the day and vote on it, and an independent newsroom that writes exclusive reports and in-depth analysis.

Independent

Not tied to any government or party.

In-depth

Exclusive reports built on data, documents and fact-checking.

Global

We see Iran in the context of the world.

Participatory

Your vote sets the order of the front page.

How does front-page ranking work?

score = (up − down + 1) ÷ (hours + 2)^1.5

Every upvote raises a post's score, but its effect fades over time so that fresh news also has a chance to be seen. The newsroom can pin very important news to the top of the page.

Editorial principles

  1. Every claim in an exclusive report is confirmed by at least two independent sources.
  2. We correct mistakes in the report itself and date the correction.
  3. Advertising is always labelled “Sponsored”.
  4. Fake content and content that violates privacy is removed.

Terms of use

  1. Each link and comment is the responsibility of the person who posted it.
  2. Insults, threats, hate speech and publishing other people's personal information are forbidden and lead to a ban.
  3. Creating several accounts to vote for your own posts is forbidden.
  4. Each user may submit at most 10 posts a day.

Privacy

  1. We keep only your username, email and encrypted password.
  2. Your email is never shown and never sold to anyone.
  3. The site stores only sign-in, language and display-mode cookies in your browser.
  4. To delete your account completely, send us a message from the contact page.
