We have been informed of your Islamic stance. We hope that you at Ittila`at newspaper will strive to recount reality as it happens; make efforts that your writings do not foment schism in the heart of the nation and the Revolution. Writers have a grave responsibility and must be vigilant and cautious for a word in print sometimes can prove detrimental.
columnist: How much freedom will the press enjoy under a just Islamic government?]
Islam is a religion of freedom and nobility, so it is axiomatic that the Islamic press is a free press. When a nation's revolution is an Islamic one, endeavor to make your newspaper the mirror image of this Revolution. Therefore, all your efforts should be directed toward illuminating the nation's thoughts by means of expressing the truth about Islam and the Revolution of the nation of Iran.
[At the end, Imam Khomeini gave his benediction on the freedom-loving writers, who had a share in the struggle through their endeavors.]
