AbstractReligious journalism is a popular genre that has received less exposure among the studies of the Iranian press. For nearly two centuries of print journalism in the country, no national newspaper has regularly reported on religious matters. This paper provides a comparative review of the content of the two dailies; Kayhan and Ettela’at, during of the first thirteen days of the month of Muharram from 1956-2006. The results showed a significant relationship with 99% confidence between the two papers regarding style, subject, function, size, and place of content and photos. The use of the news genre increased in the three decades after the revolution of 1979 and decreased in the face of religious advertisements. In the pre-revolutionary period, the function of religious education and preaching was prominent, and in the years after the revolution, the informative and guidance function with a focus on the biographies of religious leaders became more prevalent. The educational function is more evident in the Kayhan Daily, and the religious publicity function was more prominent in the other one. Indeed, the two newspapers have the opposite trend in terms of the number and size of articles before and after the revolution period.

Critical Discourse Analysis, which aims at uncovering the mediational role of language in (re)producing reality, employs such analytical tools as the resources of Systemic Functional Linguistics. This study has set out to introduce to the reader and deploy a selected set of the said tools, and has attempted to apply the two systems of Thematic Structure and Transitivity to a sample of journalistic texts. In keeping with this, an editorial from the Iranian daily Keyhan, dealing with the execution of 37 Saudi Shiite dissidents, has been selected and scrutinized. The findings showed that, from an Thematic Structure perspective, the author has rendered opaquely his/her intended message, that is, criticism of reactions to the above event. Furthermore, having strategically employed themes, he/she has tried to show that it has had precedents, and that it is contextualized in relation to other events supposedly requiring reactions. The Transitivity Analysis pointed to the fact that Saudi leaders have been mostly represented as actors in such material processes as committing atrocities, and that the 37 prisoners have been rendered as goals, that is at the receiving end of actions such as torture, crime, etc.Keywords: Keyhan Daily, Systemic Functional Linguistics, Discourse Analysis, Critical Discourse Analysis

Food advertising contributes to increase children’s food preference, purchase and consumption, and therefore children’s obesity. This study aims to describe the promotional techniques used in unhealthy food advertising on the television channels of Islamic Republic of Iran. Accordingly, food advertising on the three television channels (in prime time for children’s television watching) was analyzed using content analysis method. In order to classify promotional techniques, a coding framework was used. Results showed that 73.58 percent of advertised food were unhealthy, and “flavors” and “oils and other fats” had the most frequencies of unhealthy food advertising. The most used promotional techniques were respectively music/ jingles, happiness, and meal portrayed. Although many of unhealthy food advertising used persuading techniques for children, the more of these food products were in the green area based on nutrient content (i.e. low risk for health).

Advertisements are one of the forms of messages that advertisers advertise and sell their product through linguistic and visual constructions. This descriptive-analytical study has explained and analyzed four ads that have a direct impact on the environment. The reason for choosing these four ads, apart from the canvas discussion and the effects they have on it, is their repetition in the radio and television media. The need for rethinking in advertisements, taking into account the consequences and consequences that they have on the environment, constitutes the necessity of conducting this research. The results of this study indicate that the above-mentioned advertisements in the form of language and images help to construct a consumerist discourse. Advertisers seek to sell their product without considering the full aspects of it. With the exception of the "Crystal Koala" ad, which is both in terms of language and in terms of image and animation, which has been one of the concerns of the environment, other ads not only do not help the environment. But in various ways, endanger nature and the environment.

Science journalism policy-making is a grand strategy that emphasizes the role and functions of science journalism as well as changing common paradigms with respect to the impact of the Internet and new media to guide decisions, achieve logical goals and reduce existing challenges. The aim of this study was to provide a policy model for science journalism based on new media. This study is an applied-developmental research in terms of purpose and has been done with a cross-sectional survey approach. The statistical population includes theoretical experts (university professors) and experimental experts (experienced journalists). Purposeful method was used for sampling and continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. Finally, the views of 20 experts were used. The content analysis method and MaxQDA software were used to identify the underlying categories of science journalism policy. Structural-interpretive method and MicMac software were used to present the model. The research findings show the factors that ultimately lead to the policy-making of science journalism in Iran.

Text-centric social media platforms such as Twitter play an important role in shaping public opinion to the extent that users can frame what they perceive as a reality. The purpose of the present study was to examine public opinion about the Football Federation elections on Twitter. Therefore, after the Football Federation elections, 2531 tweets were extracted by searching for hashtags and Brown and Clark (2006) approach was used to discover the themes, which yielded 57 subthemes. subthemes produced the 7 main themes "Characters and Stars", "Football Community", "Football Structure", "Non-Football", "Media", "Football Emotions" and "Corruption in Football" on Twitter. The findings showed that Twitter helps users create frames that traditional media cannot or do not want to create. Studying frames shows how users use social media to overcome traditional media coverage, provide alternatives, and change perceptions.
