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.).
