Noshabeh Amiri is married to Houshang Asadi, a fellow journalist and film critic. The couple shares a deep passion for journalism and cinema, and their partnership has played a significant role in both their professional and personal lives.
Asadi has also had a distinguished career in journalism, and together, they were part of the editorial team that made “Film Report” one of Homeland’s most respected film magazines. Their shared commitment to media and culture has made them a powerful duo in the Iranian media landscape.
In the early 2000s, Noshabeh Amiri and her husband moved to France. This move was driven by a combination of political and professional reasons, as Iran’s media environment became increasingly restrictive. Despite being in exile, Amiri continued her work in journalism and media.
One of Noshabeh Amiri’s significant contributions during her time in France was her work with the online newspaper “RozOnline,” which catered to the Persian diaspora in Europe. The newspaper provided news, commentary, and analysis on both Persian and international events, offering a platform for Iranian voices in exile.
Amiri played a critical role as one of the authors and editors of RozOnline. The platform gained a loyal readership over its 12 years of operation, publishing over 2,500 issues. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, RozOnline ceased publication on January 1, 2016. However, its impact on the Iranian diaspora and its role in fostering free speech and open discussion cannot be overstated.
Noshabeh Amiri’s career is marked by her versatility and passion for storytelling. Whether through her voice as a dubbing artist or her words as a journalist, Amiri has left an indelible mark on Iran’s cultural and media landscape.
