Gooya () is a Persian-language website started by Belgium-based journalist Farshad Bayan in 1998.
At that time, there were a few Iran-related websites and most Persian media did not have online editions.
Gooya started its own independent news section, Gooya News, a few years later. External links Gooya.com Farshad Bayan's interview with BBC Persian Farshad Bayan's interview with ITNA
