A reporting assignment, a rescue operation and a film production may seem far apart. In the career of Naser Gholami Hojghan, they belong to the same broad story: working with people, documenting events and helping information reach an audience.
The Iranian journalist, photographer, writer and public relations professional has spent much of his working life in Tabriz and East Azerbaijan. The biographical material supplied for this profile describes more than two decades of work across news, emergency response, sports communications, cultural activities and, more recently, advisory roles in film production. Earlier interviews and published appointment reports provide additional context for that account.
A reporter with search-and-rescue experience
Emergency response is one of the more distinctive strands of Gholami Hojghan's background. In his earlier interview, he described working as a Red Crescent rescuer alongside his media activities and studying rescue operations management. The supplied biography also records specialist training and relief work with the Red Crescent Society in Tabriz.
That account includes work connected with documenting rescue operations, experience covering accidents and training in firefighting and safety from introductory to advanced levels. It also describes participation in road-rescue operations.
For Gholami Hojghan, an emergency could therefore involve two very different responsibilities: reporting what had happened and helping those affected. His account of that experience places direct contact with people at the centre of his approach to field journalism.
Photography, tourism and cultural heritage
Photography has remained a substantial part of his media work. Alongside news reporting, the supplied biography describes his coverage of social and cultural events, tourism and the heritage of the Azerbaijan region of Iran.
The camera serves a related purpose to the written report: preserving a moment and making its setting understandable. His work in these areas has extended beyond short news items to documentary material and other visual content. The common interest is in the everyday life, public events and cultural places that give a region its character.
Public relations across martial arts
A large part of Gholami Hojghan's professional record concerns sports communications. The supplied biography lists public relations and information roles with several martial arts disciplines and organizations in East Azerbaijan, as well as work with the Martial Arts Associations Board of Tabriz.
The disciplines named in that account include:
- Free Kung Fu, Ho Kung Fu and Gang Tuan;
- Persian Kickboxing and Power Kickboxing;
- Alpagut and Tak Razm;
- Shinkyokushin karate and jujitsu;
- Traditional Kung Fu To'a.
It also records membership of the governing boards of the provincial Free Kung Fu and Power Kickboxing associations. His Free Kung Fu board appointment was the subject of a previous report on his sports-management responsibilities.
Certificates of appreciation and a golden public relations statuette in the martial arts field are among the distinctions listed in the supplied material. More recent responsibilities described there include media advice to the head of East Azerbaijan's jujitsu association and to the head of Iran's Traditional Kung Fu To'a Association.
These roles concern the communication around sport: explaining activities, coordinating information and maintaining contact between sporting organizations, journalists and their audiences.
Biography: Naser Gholami Hojghan
Naser Gholami Hojghan (Persian: ناصر غلامی هوجقان) was born in Abadan on April 1, 1977, corresponding to 12 Farvardin 1356 in the Solar Hijri calendar. In an earlier interview published in Persian, he described an interest in reporting and article writing that began during his teenage years.
He said he later took news-writing courses through Jihad Daneshgahi, Iran's academic education and research institution, including training associated with the Iranian Students' News Agency, ISNA, in East Azerbaijan. His professional experience has included reporting, supervising news coverage, managing news operations and producing media content.
His subjects have ranged from social issues and local government to accidents, culture, sport, tourism and cultural heritage. Photography and documentary work have accompanied his reporting, offering another way to record people, places and events.
His personal website also brings together a biography, honours, a photo gallery and news about his work.
Peace initiatives and social activities
His activities have also included cultural and social organizations. A Purson report dated November 23, 2024, or 3 Azar 1403, reported his appointment as deputy for public relations and international affairs at the Northwest House of Peace Institute. The report attributed the appointment to an order issued by the institute's secretary.
The supplied biography also lists public relations work for the House of Peace Institute in Ardabil and participation in publicizing social and cultural activities. It states that the Ardabil institute awarded him the title of peace ambassador in the Iranian year 1405, which spans March 2026 to March 2027. A November 4, 2026 report carried by Gozaresh Khabar also mentions that title.
His listed social activities include promoting organ-donation awareness and serving as an organ-donation ambassador for the Tabriz branch of the Iranian Organ Donation Association.
From media work to film-production advice
A newer part of Gholami Hojghan's professional story is his collaboration with Iranian independent filmmaker Alireza Jamali Akhavan (علیرضا جمالی اخوان). The supplied material describes Jamali Akhavan as a writer, producer and director whose projects explore human and social themes, children and the lives of ordinary people.
Gholami Hojghan's reported contributions include media adviser, adviser to the writer, adviser to the director and public relations manager. Recent published accounts describe these collaborations, although the full credits and production history of each project have not been independently verified for this profile.
The distinction matters: advising a writer or director is not the same as receiving a film's writing or directing credit. The responsibilities described here place his media and communications experience alongside the creative work of a production team.
In practical terms, that experience can support the introduction of a film to the public, communication with news outlets and discussion about how a story reaches its intended audience. It connects his earlier work in reporting and public relations with a different form of storytelling.
The connecting thread: people and communication
Across these different settings, a consistent theme emerges from the account of his career. Reporting records events; rescue work involves direct assistance; photography preserves moments; public relations helps organizations communicate; and film-related advisory work draws on an understanding of stories and audiences.
The supplied biography describes him as continuing to work in journalism, photography, writing, public relations, cultural communications and film collaborations. His career is best understood through that range of connected activities, rather than through a single job title.
