One of the concerns of religion and media domain is the question of the relation between religion basedOne of the concerns of religion and media domain is the question of the relation between religion based on discourse, image and visual media.

The methodology of this study is semiotic which was accessed by emphasizing 5 items:’ Clothing, age and sex’, ‘non-verbal communication’, ‘movement’ ‘color and light. Samples were selected randomly, 10 selected programs were selected within years 1972-2009. Semiotic implies that firstly these programs has been gradually were placed at the position of governmental religion, secondly communication has been one-sided and vertical and thirdly by focusing on the religious type of those who are present in the programs has ignored cultural diversity of the society.

This study examines the emergence of Iranian War Cinema and explores its key components. The main question of the research is if Sacred Defense films constituted a structure or not. The hypothesis of the research suggests that these movies go beyond sharing common thematic and narrative features, but they constitute a textual formation. The aim of this study is to concentrate on the Iranian fiction war movies in order to show and analyze some features which can help us to search structural concepts in these movies. The research method would be a descriptive-analysis method. To analyze the films, as a qualitative method, the methodology of this research would be textual analysis. The theoretical framework is structural approach. Through a critical and objective analysis of the films and reviewing the valid readings about the governmental discourse, the results show that Sacred Defense films have either a ritual or an ideological function and then constitute a structure.

Aim of this article is to bring to light the grounds and the origins of film narratives, namely its possibilities and necessities. Film narratives as the work and behavior of human being is necessarily originated in and grounded on the essence and the mode of his Being. In this article from the viewpoint of care of Being, that is, one original characteristics of human beings, and regarding to Heidegger's general thought of Being as such, essence of human being, and truth or unconcealment, has been tried to explicate the necessities and the possibilities of narratives as language, the necessities and the possibilities of cinematic montage on the basis of indeterminate presence and concrete acquisitions. Finally, researching the narratives from these three viewpoints, it will be shown that the care of Being as the primordial essence of human beings that cares truth or unconcealment of entities and Being, is the origin and ground of film narratives as the human beings' behavior, that is, if the care of Being that necessitates Mitsein [being-with] and accordingly the language as such, and also necessitates concrete acquisitions which are essential in order for human being and other living beings to remain constantly as what they already are, was not the essence of human being then the cinematic montage and editing would not be possible at all

The theories of representation, agenda-setting, and framing are employedin order to pursue the objectives of the study. The gathered datais analyzed using "practical discourse analysis method" (PDAM). The examinedpopulation in the present study consists of 10 news stories about the Egyptian revolutionfrom each news network, selectedthrough a random sampling procedure.

However, Al-Jazeera's special discourse is on peacefulness of revolutionists and support ofthe revolution while the discourse of Al-Arabiya network is on the insecurity threatening the minority, especially Christians, after the revolution, the lack of popular support for the Islamic movements, and the atmosphere of polarization created in the society.Meanwhile, the discourse of BBC Arabic revolved around the reduced national solidarity after the revolution, the schism between Egyptian supporters and opponents of the revolution, and people's support of Muslim revolutionistswhereas Al-Alam network’s discourse emphasized on the request of Egyptian people for restoration of Egyptian-Iranian relations.
