Iran state reporter ditches suit
A FORMER Australian correspondent for Iran's state-run propaganda network, Press TV, has retreated from threats to sue a Melbourne blogger who last year exposed her past as an erotic glamour model.
The Sydney journalist, Edwina Storie, in May announced legal action over the seductive lingerie shots and Facebook photos that contrasted sharply with the reporter's conservative, hijab-wearing TV persona.

Mr Storie, a former adviser to prime minister William McMahon, insisted his daughter only "read the script" provided by Press TV and was not presenting her own views. She did not know the reports would be broadcast.
"The whole thing was very upsetting for Edwina because it was like an acting part for her and they broadcast it," he said, describing her time with Press TV as "work experience".
