Alongside with the advent and proliferation of internet usage in societies, more debates on the potentials of internet in reviving or reshaping the public sphere or even creating a new one has aroused. Thus, this paper is trying to evaluate if a micro public sphere is shaped in a Telegram group where Iranian journalist had discussed the requirements and conditions for establishing a professional association. Telegram is the most popular Instant Messaging Application in Iran now, and its groups provide a very convenient space for discussions and conversations. That is why numerous groups are created to enable people to participate in public and (potentially) free discussions. In September 2016, when some Iranian journalist tried to establish a professional association for Tehran-based journalists, a group in Telegram was created which attracted more than 600 members at that time. The announced purpose of the group was exploring the circumstances and providing helpful suggestions for those working to prepare the statute of the association. Thus, using a triangulation of three methods, we tried to achieve a close reading of messages in the group (we analyzed 1117 messages from the beginning before the theoretical saturation was achieved). We identified 5 different kinds of conversations: simple, empathy, non-challenging, challenging, and hostile. Findings showed that the members’ actions in some cases can be seen as communicative rather than instrumental or strategic. Results also indicated that as debates got more hostile, many of public sphere’s norms were violated.

In the present study, the understanding of how to manage meaning and content in the framing of the speeches of Trump and Rouhani on Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action(JCPOA) by news agencies ISNA, Fars, BBC Persian and Voice of America-Persian News Network (VOA-PNN) in the telegram messenger. Framing theory has been used as theoretical basis for research. The Research Methodology is quantitative analysis and analysis unit is content. In this research, all the news about the event under review in the telegram channels of the news media are census in a purposive sampling . The reliability coefficient of the research was calculated based on Scott's formula, which for all variables was above 80%, which indicates the desirable reliability of the present research variables. Based on the findings of this research, in the speeches of Trump and Rouhani, the news release in ISNA, Fars and Persian BBC have been roughly the same and this news media (somewhat in the BBC) has published its contents against Trump's speech, while Most overwhelming of the Voice of America news was reflected against Rouhani's speech.

About 65 percent to 90 percent of communication process is done via nonverbal communication and body language. This capability in the human communication has been eliminated in social media and mobile messengers. It means that in these type of media we communicate with in the vicinity of 30 percent of our communication capability. Moreover in the past written messages did not write on time and people could write, check and send the messages deliberately. Thay had enough time to write and edit their messages. On the other side receiver had enough time to read it carefully. But using messenger we have instant chat that can cause lots of misunderstandings because of using inappropriate words in pressed time. In this paper using questionnaire the experience of 355 of people has been investigated. Data has been analysed with SPSS software and using T-test method and Nanly Spectrum.The result tells us there is a meaningful relationship between eliminating nonverbal communication and instant messages with some misunderstandings in mobile messengers.

Relation between logic and computer games can be investigated in two fields: 1. applying logic in design and generating computer games. 2. Applying logic in perceiving and using computer games. According to our media analytical approach, we focused on second field of relation between logic and computer games which is oriented to communicative and media analysis of computer games. Although Logical axioms almost are hidden behind of audiovisual, procedural and narrative attractiveness of computer games, they have essential importance in case of how user perceive and conspire world of a given game. Binary logic in computer games almost appear in structural contradictive duals which are schemed in triple textual layers of computer games. Accordingly, we utilize theoretical framework of semiology and structural linguistics in order to analyzing these structural contradictive duals. Hence, along with make use of collective case study approach to textual analysis, we draw on “stratificational semiotics” methodological foundation to segregating textual layers in computer games. To achieving the goal of preparing deeper understanding of applying binary logic in order to realizing media function of computer games, especially serious games, different types of applying binary logic systems were studied and categorized through analyzing structural contradictive duals in triple textual layers (Signal, Narrative and Procedural) of four serious games (Global Conflicts: Palestine, McDonald’s videogame, Amnesty the game, Peacemaker). In result, we categorize three types of applying binary logic in the four case studies.

The central concern of this paper is to assess the role played by the cyberspace in the construction of decision making frames for voters. The cases studied are the election campaigns in Tehran - Iranian megalopolise and the Capital of Islamic Republic - during the tenth elections for the Majles (parliament). In accordance with interpretive approach in social sciences, we have opted for a qualitative method and have used framing theory as a guiding analytical framework that has in many ways modified rational choice theory. We interviewed a number of citizens in Tehran who had taken part in the elections and at the same time were regular internet users during the election campaigns. With the help of thematic analysis, we processed and interpreted the data collected through the semi-structural interviews that we had conducted. Our findings indicate that cyberspace has played a major role in the cognitive, problem-identification, and motivational frames of the voters through social media’s agenda setting, priming, clue giving, and decontextualizing effects, either directly or indirectly through opinion leaders. During those elections, the cyberspace played a candid role at three levels: inciting people to go the polls, leading them to vote for an entire list of candidates put up by political blocs, and reinforcing or modifying support for this or that bloc.

The purpose of this study is to compare the Counter-Hegemonic international news coverage by the Press TV news network against the Hegemonic discourse of the western media in a case study. This study is to find out why, how and by which techniques is the discourse made and who is making it by asking three questions including why they speak, who is speaking, and how do they speak. Discourse analysis method is used to collect qualitative data.The conceptual framework to carry this study is based on the Gramsci's theory of Hegemony, Stuart Hall's theory of Representation, and the Laclau and Mouffe's Discourse Theory. The findings show that Press TV uses "Reverse Representation" in the confrontation with western media who shows Islam and East as an inferior otherness. Press TV utilizes special vocabulary system, focuses on the voice of voiceless and employs both organic and traditional intellectuals to verbalize Postcolonial subjects which all are hit off with its counter-hegemonic purposes.

The present study was conducted with the aim of the role of virtual networks in explaining the political awareness of the students of the University of Orum in Urmia. The research method used was survey and the statistical population consisted of all students of Islamic Azad University is Urmia of which 380 students as sample using Cochran formula stratified random sampling method were selected. Data were collected in the survey questionnaire. Also, for data analysis, SPSS software was used. The results show that the average political knowledge to separate virtual networks to consume content is significantly different, so that students from religious news content and virtual networks are more aware than other groups. Also, the linear relationship between the amount of sustainability in consumption and the level of political awareness of students was confirmed and the type of relationship is also positive and direct. The correlation between the variables of the use of virtual networks and the awareness of political factions and election laws and national divisions has been positive and significant. The results of regression analysis showed that the variables in the regression model, could explain 14 percent of variance of political consciousness.

This paper seeks to describe media consumption mechanism in adolescents-as the most influential age group.In relation to the expected norm of exploratory research, we don’t have a theoretical basis and prior assumptions.The methodology in this paper is the Grounded Theory, and the author claims that, through inductive logic based on deep interviews and observations, presents a theoretical system of adolescent media consumption mechanism.In the implementation of Grounded Theory, after conducting 22 individual in depth interviews and observations on the field, 1050 open coding were obtained in the first stage. Subsequently, axial coding have done with 362 categories for identifying concepts, and 15 concepts by Selective Coding were identified as core concepts in the use of description of adolescent media mechanism.Then selective coding applied to construction of theoretical model that were formed by systemic consequences of adolescent media consumption were identified in 5 levels;• Arrhythmia of the media in adolescents• Active exposure to the media consumption• Adult adaptation• Multi-level seeking Distinction• Family conflicts as a result of adolescent media consumptionThus, the outcome of this article is a theoretical portrait of media usage mechanisms by adolescents.
