Religion has existed throughout the history of the news media, and issues related to religion have been part of the discourses of journalism. Religion has a strong presence in Iranian media too, however the relationships between journalism and religion have received less attention from researchers. This study seeks to describe religion journalism as a style of journalism in the Iranian media sphere. For this purpose, we examined religious news in official news agencies attempting to describe religion journalism from two perspectives of style (form) and content. The results of this study show that religion journalism in Iran mainly has the following characteristics; Hard news, with an objective journalism style, with inferential headlines, using the inverted pyramid method, with novelty news value and a propagation approach. In addition, in terms of content, religion journalism pays special attention to the political, social and ritual dimensions of religion while adopting a traditional discourse towards religion. The discourse of traditional religion that emphasizes the social aspects of religion, such as enjoining good and forbidding evil, and large collective rituals such as the Eid al-Fitr prayer.

Also, based on the results, news agencies and social networks have media overlap. According to the results, it can be said that news agencies should pay attention to news values and news writing, so as not neglect developments in the field of journalism.

The aim of this article is analyzing the performance of two mainstream and rival media spectrum (ISNA news agency, Shargh daily newspaper and BBC Persian channel against Fars news agency, Keyhan Newspaper and IRIB newscast) in managing the news flow related to Isfahan Acid attacks on women during October 16 to October 31, 2014. In this article, purposive sampling was done and for analyzing data, two methods of thematic analysis and quantitative content analysis were used. The results indicated that ISNA news agency was heading news streaming, while Persian BBC and Shargh daily newspaper were both trying to keep the news alive. Meanwhile, Fars news agency, Keyhan newspaper and IRIB news at the initial stages tried to keep silent and blackout the news and just after forming the news flow, they began to cover it. Such a delay in covering the news, besides passive and pro- government approaches as well as formal language were considered as the main reasons why this media spectrum failed to impact properly on managing this news stream.
