Competition is one of the effective elements in rising (quantitatively and qualitatively) production of goods, services and satisfaction of consumers. The Press should also be seen as cultural goods. The press organizations as services organization try to increase their income and their portion in media market, so they use different ways for competition with other mass media. This kind of competition has different dimensions which include, keeping audiences, attracting new audiences, producing special topics, news overtaking , selling more ,absorbing more advertising and increasing edition .Because of being in the competitive situation and being able to produce , distribute and sell their contents more , the Press should make their organization conditions more dynamic. So they should follow both investigative and Interpretative journalism, job security of staff especially the journalists. In the other hand, the environment of the organization should be support by union and establish training courses for media managers and journalists, changing the authority of governmental press agencies to private organizations, the implementation of the Constitution, and press constitution for job security of journalism. Survey research method is the method which is used in this paper. And we investigate the view of managers of five famous newspapers.

Cinema demand in Tehran has been decreased during last 2 decades. Therefore, this paper is aimed to estimate the function of demand for cinema in Tehran based on the Tehran's time series data during 1985-2010 periods. This research tries to use Case Study Research Method. Also according to Neo-Classic Demand Theory and econometric models is used Ordinary Least Square Technique (OLS) for demand function of cinema in Tehran. This estimation is carried out by Eviews-IV econometric modeling package.
In this research we have selected the best logarithmic equation as function of demand for cinema in Tehran after estimating some equations and testing them. All relevant test statistics indicated that there is relation between these variables. We start our analysis with the specification of several approaches for cinema demand. According to calculation all of cinema demands elasticity; we analyzed the effective factors on cinema demand in Tehran, such as price ticket, consumers' income index, substitute and supplementary goods 1985-2010 periods. However, in this study we found that the cinema demand is inversely related to the price and the income. Thus the cinema in Tehran as a cultural good may indeed be seen as a luxury one.

The need to attend to the existing literature in the realm of social sciences and cultural and social management as well as the philosophical, jurisprudential and theological sciences in the realm of religious thought may give birth to a new approach; the approach which can be understood under a monotheistic paradigm. Such an approach may assist us in introducing a new interpretation of the social concepts. Despite the fact that institutionalization of value indicators in the society is subject to different cultural habitat variables various already studies made in this respect show that institutionalization of such variables as social confidence within the religious cultural and educational group is more prevalent as compared with other groupings. Since the day of yore, the scholars of the social sciences have been seeking to establish an ideal state or utopia or ideal community as a community in which all social and national affairs are in the process in its best manner. In the ideal community it is better if all members voluntary play their deserved roles actively. In the ideal community all actors are actively involved in the actions based on the social rules and regulations. Such a process in the literature of human sciences can be interpreted by use of the social capital variable. If we go through the religious literature we find the principle of the promotion of virtues and prevention of vices as the closet concept to our discussion. The present paper in fact is seeking to define and interpret such a relationship. This paper introduces the relevant techniques for resolving the problem and wishes to present a cognitive model by use of the relevant intellectual properties. it also intends to use the modern rationalism as an instrument within an intra-religious thought with the purpose to open a new chapter for conceptual development of the indigenous literature. To this end we discuss the social capital and present a cognitive model for institutionalizing a certain dimension of the religious social thinking.

Arab world has seen fundamental changes since 2011 and the wave of political developments and the so-called Arab Spring revolutions have toppled four dictators in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen. Mass media and satellite networks by online, professional and genuine reflection of political developments have made people aware of their rights and have mobilized them politically. This is much true for authoritarian countries that monopolize mass media and have deprived people of true information. Aljazeera is one of the satellite news networks which have had a significant role in the revolutions of the Arab world. Aljazeera by applying a delicate professionalism could attract a lot audience in the Arab World and even globally. But the approach of this network in the coverage of news and events in the Middle East and especially Syria has been biased and are directed along Qatari foreign policy.
This article by analytic-descriptive methodology firstly outlines theoretical deliberation about the mass media’s role in framing of political events; and secondly it analyses the Aljazeera’s role in Syrian crisis since March 2011.

The main function of the media is persuasion and obviously, the difficulty of persuading and influencing others cannot be overlooked. In the present research, a selection of methods and principles of persuasion from Islamic texts as well as texts of resistance literature have been extracted in a descriptive-analytical manner; The grounds have been laid according to discourse, the principle of impartiality, the principle of graduality and the principle of synchronicity, that are listed as four essential principles of persuasion. The methods of reasoning, comparison, questioning, allegory and simile, humor, repine, sanctification and the use of myths are among the suggested methods in this research which are recommended to be used according to the dominant discourse in the individual and social domain. Consequently, effective persuasion will be the result of the discourse that also affect the discourse itself. In addition, in cases where the use of these methods were not fruitful, to avoid the advancement of rival discourse, methods such as denunciation and controversy are suggested; these methods are considered complementary to persuasive practices.

This article tries - by studying the communicational function of the Epopees of Imam Hossein s followers in Ashura event- to understand the function of Epopee - as a traditional medium- in one of the most important Islamic events from the communicational aspect. Using the "functionalism theory" in studying the functions of communicational messages, it has been focused on "awareness" as one of the functions of communicational messages in this study and then by using the -step Lasswell model, the Epopees of Emam Hossein’s followers were studied from the aspect of their "awareness" function. The method used was "Qualitative content method". One of the results is that the Epopees of the followers of Emam Hossein in Ashura, besides the current functions of this traditional medium in that time -such as boasting the glories and courage to the Foe and declaring the warfare and the family of the warrior- has been in the same aim with the goals of Emam Hossein in the Ashura Rise and from this aspect, it has "awareness function".

Cultural diversity is an indispensible trend in today's world and has gained considerable momentum as a result of globalization and ubiquity of communication media. In this essay I attempt to provide a plausible answer to the following question: "given the fact that in the world today no society can truly achieve a monolithic culture, how would it be possible to draw up a cultural policy that would respect cultural diversity and yet fulfill the goal of national unity?" Criticizing various monistic discourses that insist on creation of a monolithic society and culture, a number of arguments are advanced in defense of cultural diversity and multiple identities. Relying on these arguments and in light of Iran's particular historical and cultural conditions, adoption of a cultural policy that is inclusive of various segments of Iran's society is proposed.

Relationship between capital and the rate of capitals' transformation into each other is of utmost importance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between symbolic capital and cultural capital facets. In this regard, a major hypothesis and three minor hypotheses are formed. Symbolic capital consists of three dimensions: visualized capital, objectified capital, institutionalized capital. Research method is practical with respect to its purpose, is descriptive regarding its nature and is a kind of survey study. Data analysis is taken place using SPSS 19 and lisrel 8.8 software. The population under investigation consists of 4620 individuals. Number of individuals in the sample is determined to be 353 using Kerjsi-Morgan table. Cronbach Alpha coefficients for symbolic capital and cultural capital are equal to 0.846 and 0.934, respectively. The findings show that the rate of the relationships (r) between social capital and cultural capital facets (visualized, objectified, institutionalized) equals 0.91, 0.75 and 0.71, respectively and the rate of the total relationship between social capital and cultural capital is equal to 0.89. The results indicate that individuals, who possess a higher symbolic capital, have a greater cultural capital. If we want to change or influence a culture in a society, we must use different types of symbolic capital (economic, social and cultural) and direct the existing cultural capital towards the expected goal of (our symbolic capital).

Since the beginning of 20th century, comic stories have been used as a powerful tool in shaping the identity of Japanese people. During WWII, comic stories and animations were specifically used for encouraging youth to participate in the war and strengthening the public mood. These two media acted as the most influential means in soothing the wounds of defeat after WWII. The research aims to investigate the presumed influence of these visual media in the Japanese society by conducting a historical survey. Accordingly, the article is conducted in a way to find an answer regarding the extent of involvement of the media of animation in the dialogue of national identity in Iran. Based on the results of this comparative study, it can be comprehended that the art of comic storytelling is the missing connection in facilitating the engagement of socio-political issues in Iranian animations as a link to relate the political cartoons and animations.

Language in general and the Holy Qur’an as a special language in particular, have an auditive nature. Formation and learning of a language in its natural manner, still continuing through successive generations in human history, have the same nature. Every language has also its own sound and melody, which in many cases, the proportion of sound and meaning are verifiable. The special language of the Holy Qura’n, dosen’t do exception in this regard. This language, being a divine and compulsory collection (by the Book and Sunnah), follows this order in many cases. So, the study of this aspect of the Qura’n’s language is important and has notable results.

This paper aims to explore the characteristics and themes of broadcasting media policy in Iran from Islamic revolution(1078-1979) until the present time Broadcasting media policy is a subset of media policy and public policy as the umbrella concepts. Laws, regulations and legislations are the main means of reinforcing public policies by governments and governmental branches to deal with any kinds of public matters, such as the public service broadcasting systems. Accordingly, all the ratified laws and regulatory documents concerning broadcast media in Iran are collected as the research materials. To analyze these empirical data, qualitative content analysis and thematic coding are applied to explore the main themes of broadcasting media policy in Iran. The results indicate that rigid state ownership, promoting political and cultural discourses, unification, using state-secured budgets, focusing on mass audience, and developing air broadcasting technology have been the core themes and characteristics of broadcasting media policy paradigm in Iran during the past four decades. Discussing these themes, research findings indicate that in the given time horizon, the government has always reinforced regulatory policies for broadcast media to impose limitations and restrictions on possible broadcasting activities of different actors. Moreover, findings show this policy model has been continuously reinforcing with the least changes in Iran, while the first paradigm of policy attempt for broadcast media based on the monopolization by the state-funded broadcaster belongs to the years prior to the 1980s in most countries.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the sociology of traditional and modern consumer lifestyle and some of its individual and social factors among Kerman citizens. This descriptive-correlational study was conducted in Kerman in autumn 2016. The statistical population consisted of all citizens of Kerman over 18 years of age. 400 of them were selected and studied by multistage cluster sampling. Data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire on consumer lifestyle based on four components of leisure, body management, nutrition and shopping patterns in both traditional and modern dimensions. The results showed that respondents have a more traditional consumption lifestyle. Respondents had a more traditional style in subjects such as leisure, body management, nutrition, and shopping patterns, all four components of the consumer lifestyle. Traditional lifestyle shows a significant difference in terms of gender, age, marital status, and residential neighborhood. In addition, modern lifestyle showed a significant difference in age and marital status, but gender and residential neighborhood did not differ significantly from modern lifestyle. Also, there is a significant difference in consumption pattern in both traditional and modern dimensions in terms of socioeconomic status. In today’s context, the role of traditional institutions such as family and religion in socializing individuals is declining and some kind of cultural disruption is prevalent in society; in this context, individuals, especially young people, build a modern and distinct identity for themselves, influenced by modernity and consumer culture.

The population of the study is consisted of all high school girl students in city of Yazd. Via the random sampling, students were selected. The research instrument is researcher-made questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using analysis of variances (Friedman ranking). The results showed that use of cyberspace in aspects: family, education, adoption, faith and psychological has a negative effect on students, but among devices, mobile has the most traumas and the computer games has the least traumas on the students. Students believed the main mechanisms to reduce of traumas, are strengthen logical and emotional connections in families and replacing suitable opportunities, engaging students in positive activities. In contrast, the most weak mechanisms are using policy – security monitoring and filtering.
