Given the importance of media literacy, which has been considered in the field of policy-making in recent years, and given the multiplicity of decision-making institutions and policy-makers in this field in Iran, this is facing various challenges. The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the challenges and capacities of media literacy policy in Iran. While interviewing officials and experts in four effective institutions in this field (Supreme Council of Cyberspace, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and the Radio and Television Organization) through snowball interviews, seeks to answer the question that What policies have the media literacy institutions in Iran developed and implemented to promote media literacy in Iran?Findings show that due to the multiplicity of decision-making institutions in this field, there is no clear distinction between media literacy education and culture in this field and imbalances in planning lead to unsuccessful policies. Accordingly, it is necessary to designate a supra-institutional body (such as the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution) as a policy reference in this field and to make policy in all areas (including education and culture, etc.).

Based on Ronald Robertson's global-localization theorem, the current research in the globalization paradigm examines the local and international advertisement appearances of popular Khanevadeh-y- Sabz Magazine. This research, contrary to the economic oriented studies of advertisement, deals with the cultural function of commercial advertising through cultural studies approach and analyzes the latent and overt cultural meanings of advertisement. The research uses quantitative content analysis methodology and qualitative methodology of semiotics to cover the gaps of each method. Quantitative and qualitative studies on the commercial advertisement of Khanevadeh Sabz magazines with the aim of representing local and international notions in advertizing texts show that the signs and codes of local culture and non-local cultures are collaborative and non-unilateral; a new identity that does not fully correspond to native culture, but is a product of ‘native-global’ culture.
