The Research Evaluates new media impacts on Iranian mainstream media. It seems that new media in Iran these days deeply effect on mainstream media and even in some cases makes them to lose their functions. This research tries to evaluate new media impacts on Iranian mainstream media’s internal mechanisms and also relations between them with the people and with politic and economic powers. New media impacts on mainstream media and their relations with people were evaluated by qualitative survey methodology. Eventually researcher concluded that new media by themselves did not reduce the mainstream media consumption but the tough controls and lack of professionalism in mainstream media were the critical cause of consumption, trustfulness and influence decline so new media rise only has amplified these consequences. In fact, this study found that people have immigrated to new media because of weak mainstream media but they could not entirely alternate with mainstream media.

Along with different and deep problems that the contemporary family has challenged in Iran, Internet penetration and use of modern communication technologies in the family have made these problems and challenges more complex and obscure. The challenges which are to some extent rooted in the transformation of family relations in Iran. This research was conducted to study the relationship between the use of modern communication technologies and family relations.The study population was Shiraz high school students from all 10 city regions. Using classified random sampling method, 400 students were selected and responded to the questionnaire. The theoretical framework of this study is a combination of the "networked family" and the "family boundaries" theories. One of the innovations in this research is the use of two mediating variables called family time and family network, which has been inspired by the theoretical framework. Generally, the results of this research indicate that there is no direct relationship between the type and extent of the use of new technologies of communication with family relations, but this relationship is realized through the path of mediating variables, namely, the time of family and family network. Finally, Family time and family network variables have a positive effect on family relationships, with a beta of 0.473 and 0.273, and in general they are able to explain 30% of the family relationship variable.

Twitter is a social media that provides widespread engagement and interaction possibilities. In the last decade, the media has attracted the attention of politicians, especially diplomats, and has become a platform for the reflection of their priorities, values, and ideas. The use of this infrastructure has created a new type of diplomacy called "Twiplomacy", and more than 92 percent of the member states of the United Nations have a user account and represent their identity and their country on Twitter. In Iran, politicians and diplomats have not been able to keep up with this trend to have an active presence. By using the Ontological Security Theory, this essay seeks to explore how Iranian officials, especially diplomats, can represent the identity and norms of the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Twitter. The main question is how Iranian politicians narrate themselves on Twitter. In order to investigate this question, in addition to Twitter of Iran's Foreign Minister, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu's tweets were also considered as the main rivals of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s ontological narration on foreign policy. Accordingly, the following criteria were summarized as Iran's foreign policy narratives: First, Iran as a security maker of the region; second, Iran as an economically developing state; third, Iran as a compliant with international obligations; and last, an independent Iran.

Many scholars believed that the current cinema studies has reduced to a simplistic cultural critique. But at now we have a great legacy of the works in the cultural and cinematic studies outside of the western main tendency , without have attracted any necessary and appropriateattention towards their nature and identity. This unfair neglecting mentioned above reminded to us the necessity for renewed focus and attention thecurrent cinematic resistance flows against the western mainstream. In the recent years, the de-westernizing of film studies approach as a novel method for standing towards the western cinematic hegemony, have taken into consideration from many of the world cinematic theorists and thinkers. The De-westernizing approach nowise means the complete denial, negation and rejection of the western cinematic`s forms, genres, products, thought, critics or even the ideological aspects of them, but simultaneously with respecting and regards to the values of the classic cinema studies(of the west), warns to the need of moving beyond the west mainstream and refused from the prevalent and common dichotomy of West/Other This article that is based on analytical-descriptive method and was conducted by using of library resources, seeking to illustrated how the de-westernizing approach as a new and novel method defined its targeting and purpose as the decentralization from the west, and not excommunication of the west or relocation of the central signifiers and the focuses.

The Iraqi Kurdish Independence Referendum, despite widespread opposition to the Barzani party's insistence, was held on, on December 25, 2017. And news related to the Kurdish referendum on the Iraqi Kurdistan for a long time has become the top news of a regional, transnational, and international media. In this research, we are going to review the news in the four news sites of Al Jazeera, IRNA, REDAWO and BBC, by reviewing the referendum in the days following its launch. The results of the research indicate that each of the news sites has their own specific idea of referendum. IRNA has paid attention to the referendum by mentioning the reflective news and it is mainly against the referendum. Al-Jazeera has implicitly supported the referendum with its analytical reports, but warns about its dangers, The BBC has shown its support for the Kurdish nation by applying its bilateral policy and has expressed criticism in it`s reflective news. Rodaw as Kurdish-language site supported the referendum and created a positive semantic framework of it.

Present research is devoted to analys the roll of internet use in occurance of negative habits among internet users. Taking advantage of some cultural theoris of Iranian and non-Iranian theorists, several hypotheses were made and then, theoretical relations stablished among the variables. The statistical population of the research included all of internet users who visit coffee-nets in Kashan in May 2017, out of which 319 youngsters were selected as the research sample. It should be mentioned that research sample primarily was determined by Cochran calculation formula, and then, respondents were selected through accidential and proportional classified sampling method. Findings showed that the rate of users,s negative habits in Kashan is relatively on the edge of the middle level- not so high and not so low. Independent variables such as the rate of use, the kind of use, and the invironement showed significant relation with the rate of negative habits occurances among users. In this regard, usage rate showed a reverse relation with the rate of negative habits, i.e. the more using internet somehow leads to decrease of some negative habits rate such as non-responsibility, law violation, and lasyness.
