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. In this article while reviewing the theoretical literature among religious programs ‘Lesson form the Quran’ by Hojjatul-Islam Qarati which is broadcast about 40 years was reviewed and sought to respond this question ‘what changes have the religious images undergone during these years and has it leaded to better presentation of the religion? 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.

An interesting aspect of sociolinguist investigations is the variation of the codes of conduct that different linguistic communities apply in their use of unfavorable or vulgar words when they talk about certain topics. The present study seeks to compare the usage of verbal taboos in the lectures delivered by political and religious figures. The data were collected from television and internet and the taboos were extracted from the two sets of lectures. The results indicated that both groups made use of taboos in their speeches and in both, the general taboos ranked first in frequency. The significant finding is that political lecturers are more cautious with their words, while their religious counterparts use taboos more freely. In the religious group, general and animal taboos ranked highest and psycho-physical and family taboos ranked lowest. In the political group, however, general taboos ranked highest, and sex and animal taboos ranked lowest

Population diversity, varied demands of the customers, constant economic fluctuations, and change of energy approach have all caused the entrepreneurship to be taken into account as one of the most important national strategies of both developed and underdevelopment countries. One of the agents influencing upon entrepreneurship development is the role of mass media such as television. This investigation attempts to shed light on the role of television in entrepreneurship development in Iran based on the Q Methodology. On the foundation of participation data related to 48 people obtained from the Q Methodology questionnaire and the results of agent analysis based on persons (directors and experts of media and entrepreneurship), thirteen roles of television in developing entrepreneurship on the basis of three-dimensional model were identified: behavioral roles, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial capabilities, modeling entrepreneurial behavior, recognition of entrepreneurial opportunity, entrepreneurial orientation, development of business skills, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial action, structural roles, modification of business laws, documenting the entrepreneurial experiences, contextual roles, entrepreneurial cultivation, distributing information on entrepreneurial activities, and institutionalizing the culture of teamwork.

Combining media formats and integrate them in digital formats; media convergence has created major changes in the media industry. This article looks at the definitions of the media convergence by professionals, and introduces the theory of "convergence culture" as a theory of what the new media is? New media culture in the three categories of mobility, participation and identity, has changed the audience. This study enumerates a variety of new activities by TV audiences in the age of convergence and introduces the TV in the age, “participate TV”. The question is whether television a “new media” is? At the result, television is evolving media that its new plat-forms are counted new media. Television must be able to interact with new media such as th Internet and social networks to survive and grow in the era of convergence and rise and increase the audience control of the flow of media.

Mass Communication Media are information highways which roles in culture and identity have recently interested social science scholars. In this regard, different conceptual frameworks have been of offered. Snowball communication is an idea that emphasizes the formation of identities through Mass media. On the contrary, some scholars emphasize information analysis. Still others emphasize a more balanced approach and point out the contradictory and dual role of mass media in both forming and eroding national identity. The purpose of the present article is to explore the level and content of TV programs, satellite channels, and internet sites on national identity of the citizens and their variables. The population of the study was the residents of Kashan, a traditional city that has recently begun movement toward modernity. The study is a survey work in which data have been collected through questionnaires and interviews. A 10-item Likert- scale questionnaire provided data on the main variable. The cronbach’s alpha reliability was 0.84. Results indicated significant positive correlation between TV use and tendencies toward national identity (Tb= 0.252). However, the relationship was negative for the use of satellite channels and the internet (TC= -0.271 and -0.199). Chi-square analysis also confirmed the data. Regression analysis (β= 0.268 and -0.276) also reflects the positive effects of TV and the negative effects of Satellites on national identity.

Providing norms and patterns, media create theoretical and practical coordination, harmony, and similarity among individuals of the society. In other words, it should be noted that since, today, individuals of the society are widely in relation to the media, think through them, know the world by them, and organize their conducts on the basis of patterns taken from media, apart from media role which has been already noted, TV enjoys a particular and main place in the Iranian society. And this has been taken as a basis to focus on it as a context in which the subject matter of the article has become operational; since, today, TV is powerfully present in all homes, and this is due to its attractiveness. One of the issues concerning the functional nature of TV concerns the field of critique. Critique may be presented in various forms in TV. One of the manifestations of crystallization of critique in TV is sessions of debate. In this regard, it should be noted that to attain a goal, knowledge of its nature is of overriding importance. Concerning debate in TV as well, understanding of critique at the first step and knowledge of TV capability and capacity in the field of its methods, including debate, is of paramount importance. In this article, based on accumulative and cognitive theoretical models on the basis of the framework, the role played by TV while explaining the concept of critique, issues concerning it, and methods of debate as an informing instrument have been discussed. Findings based on specialized and documentary study made through an inferential and analytic approach shows at first necessity of knowledge of critique. In other words, a "critique" may be considered as critique which relates to the foundations and results of an issue; otherwise, it is not a critique. On the other hand and in the next step, debate as a channel and origin to operationalize the critique should be directed to a certain and particular issue while taking into account characteristics and components of the theory of critique based in the role played by TV as an informing instrument in the public field and to preserve public interests.

There have been many studies about the importance of culture on the way to develop entrepreneurship and economic growth so that entrepreneurial culture has become a new concept. At the individual level, it has specific dimensions such as willingness to take risk, need to achievement, internal locus of control, creativity, independency, self-confidence, hardworking, management and marketing skills. There are factors that play an important role in creating entrepreneurial culture in the society like Family, educational institutions, government, social networks, industry and mass media. So we suggest that mass media can influence entrepreneurship development by acting through values embedded in different cultures. Despite the importance of the subject, there have been few investigations about the role media plays to promote entrepreneurial culture. There is no investigation that covers all dimensions of entrepreneurial culture; on the other hand researches have just mentioned the word "media" without explaining the exact kind of media. Each media has different functions and all of this is disregarded in the literature. Since television affects the audiences' knowledge, values and socialization, this paper aims at exploring the Cognitive, Normative and Regulative roles (based on institutional theory) Television can play in order to promote entrepreneurial culture. The data is gathered by performing 24 deep interviews with experts of both media and entrepreneurship including university professors, TV managers and economic program makers. The roles are also prioritized by Friedman test. Results will help us to perform a roadmap of entrepreneurial culture development. Results show that informing function of television is very appropriate for recognition role and the entertainment function suits best to transfer entrepreneurial values rather than direct education. Also the regulative roles can be played via different programs like developing social networks among audiences.
