Social Networking Sites are playing a significant role in advertising. Besides the conventional commercial ads, a new type of advertising, called “channel ads” or “link exchange” is growing in Telegram and Eitaa messengers. Deploying a variety of persuasion techniques, these ads aim at persuading users to clink on the hyperlink and join the advertised channels. Given the novelty of the issue, the present study aimed at identifying the persuasion techniques deployed in “channel advertising”. The corpus consisted of 100 advertising posts in five popular Telegram and Eitaa channels. Content analysis of the posts revealed a variety of persuasion techniques including “Narratives”, “Promised land”, “Anchors’, “Attracting Titles”, “+18”, “Scarcity”, “ Fear Appeal”, and “ Special Target Group”. The findings of the study reveal that channel advertisers, like commercial advertisers, use or misuse target groups' needs, wants, desires as well as religious beliefs and values. The complexity of the virtual world definitely demands heightened attention to cultivating media literacy.

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.

In this article we suggest three theoretical realms to media literacy studies based on the three dimensional concept of media in Klaus Bruhn Jensen’s definition. After that, we develop the concept of computer games literacy corresponding to the three realms of media literacy. In Jensen’s definition, concept of “media” understand in three distinct levels: The first level is related to material and technological sense of media; second level is related to close examination on communicating potentials of media; and finally third level is related to social and institutional sense of media. Media literacy in framework of these three levels of media concept, gain distinct realms of detailed ideas for different kind of researches and studies. As a result, we suggest that “computer games literacy” has triple realms corresponding to three theoretical realms of “media literacy”. According to this receipt, we evaluate "Amnesty the Game" in the second part of the article from the perspective of triple realms of “computer games literacy”. Case Study of "Amnesty the Game" showed, how discursive means of the text reproduced in synergistic form in all of the three levels of media concept. This game practiced to expand the knowledge generated by user interaction with the virtual world of the text to the real and historical world through utilizing communicative strategies as: establishing somehow interactive communication with user; linking the virtual identity of the user in the world of the game with his virtual identity on Facebook as a social network.
