Ruhollah Zam was a prominent Iranian journalist and the founder of the news agency AmadNews. He became a significant figure in the Iranian media landscape for his role in documenting and disseminating information during the nationwide protests of 2017 and 2019. Through his work, he provided a platform for news that was often suppressed by state media, making AmadNews a highly influential source during periods of civil unrest. On December 12, 2020, Ruhollah Zam was executed by the Islamic Republic. His death followed his extensive efforts to cover the protests and challenge the state's narrative. He is remembered by many as a "Javidnam" (immortal name) for his contributions to the Iranian protest movements and the struggle for transparency. His life and work are commemorated annually on December 12 (22 Azar). These anniversaries serve as a tribute to his impact on the 2017 and 2019 protests and his role in the broader movement for change in Iran.

روح‌الله زم، روزنامه‌نگار و مؤسس خبرگزاری «آمدنیوز» بود که نقش بسیار تأثیرگذاری در فضای رسانه‌ای و اطلاع‌رسانی ایران داشت. او به‌ویژه به دلیل پوشش اخبار و مستندسازی وقایع در جریان اعتراضات سراسری سال‌های ۱۳۹۶ و ۱۳۹۸ شناخته می‌شد. فعالیت‌های او در آمدنیوز نقشی کلیدی در انتشار اخباری ایفا کرد که اغلب توسط رسانه‌های دولتی سانسور می‌شدند. در تاریخ ۲۲ آذر ۱۳۹۹، روح‌الله زم توسط جمهوری اسلامی اعدام شد. اعدام او در پی فعالیت‌های گسترده رسانه‌ای و نقش او در آگاهی‌بخشی در دوران اعتراضات مردمی صورت گرفت. از او در میان فعالان و همراهان جنبش‌های اعتراضی با عنوان «جاویدنام» یاد می‌شود. مراسم بزرگداشت و سالگرد او هر ساله در تاریخ ۲۲ آذر برگزار می‌شود. این مناسبت یادآور تأثیرگذاری او در جریان اعتراضات سال‌های ۹۶ و ۹۸ و تلاش‌های او در مسیر اطلاع‌رسانی و همراهی با جنبش‌های مردمی برای تغییر در ایران است.
