Television in the Conquest of the Sixties / Being or Not Being “True”; Is this the problem? Mehr News Agency Iran and world’s news
Mehr News Agency – Art Group – Atieh Moazen: “Haft Rooz Sima” is the title of a special news-analytical package that at the end of each week, reads the most important news developments related to the text and margins of the radio’s productions and the surrounding events during the week.
In this weekly news package, we tried to have a glimpse of the media and even rumors that, despite being unofficial, could influence the news related to IRIB, in addition to the official news of the activities of the programmers and managers of IRIB.
Today, Thursday, May 12, you can join us with the 115th news package of “Seven Days of Sima” in reviewing the text and the margins of the events on and off TV in the past week.
This is our first news package in 1401, which we have resumed after a pause.
Face of the week; Soroush Sehat
Who would have thought that an actor-director could become an issue for a book-based show on TV? Soroush Sehat is an actor and director who we knew as Mehran Modiri, and during these years he independently undertook the production of humorous and entertaining series. Now, however, everyone knows that this acting and directing is not the only aspect of Soroush Sehat’s personality, and he has another side, which is that he is the author. The author is not just a writer of serial and cinematic works who writes much more professionally and is very accustomed to books in his life.
This is the difference between him and the celebrities who, when they take on the program, leave and are criticized for their ignorance, disability and numerous gaps. The word celebrity presenter is basically incorrect here because he himself is a reader who has become a writer, actor and director, and now that he is a reader and an open book made him an “open book” presenter.
As for “Open Book”, which can now be said to be the only television book program that has a general audience; Pay attention to this, general audience! In Nasim Network! A network that is for entertainment, a network whose other hobbies are “Khandvaneh” and “Durhami” and “Kitab Baz” is supposed to be of the same kind of entertainment. If his mission was different, he would have to go to other networks and his items, performer and structure would have to be changed. But the open book is made for this network, not the educated and specific audience of Network Four or Education Network or any other network.
“Open Book” is now challenged after several seasons and several hundred programs; The program has not been aired for a year, and yesterday, Mohammad Reza Rezaian, the producer of the program, implicitly stated that “one of the TV deputies had said this year that the program should be stopped.” “Kitab Baz” also stopped this year, and at the same time, various narrations were narrated about the ban on Soroush Sehat’s presence behind the scenes. One of the media outlets wrote shortly before the ban that “he has repeatedly heard that the problem with Soroush Sehat is the program” and mentioned Vahid Yaminpour that the directors of the radio station want the likes of such a person. Vahid Yaminpour, who also happened to be one of the guests of “Kitab Baz”, not only denied this statement, but also stated that “I myself am a supporter of Soroush Sehat.”
However, the task of Soroush Sehat and the performance of “Open Book” had not been determined yet, and it was reported that the series “Doctors’ Building” was to be broadcast on the Tamasha network. But after a while, this series was removed from Tamasha network conductor at once and without any explanation. This omission from the conductor added another factor to the scandal of Soroush’s ban, which some attributed to the positions of Vahid Jalili, the organization’s deputy for cultural affairs, who in recent times, as a cultural critic and expert, sharply criticized the series. Had raised.
During the same period, the head of the Radio and Television spoke twice about the rumors and rumors about the presence of Al-Kar’s banned presenters, once emphasizing that “the doors of the Radio and Television are open to all capacities” “We are not banned from working on the radio,” he said, adding that the decision to select a presenter rests with the network’s producer and manager.
Now it remains to be seen whether Soroush Sehat can finally return to television by performing the same program, or whether the nominations will still be blocked.
Special event of the week; Changing the generation of TV executives
Until two or three years ago, when even the law banning the employment of retired managers was passed and implemented and the necessity of its implementation was emphasized, there were still retired managers who could not be removed from the presidency of the radio station. It has served the people. However, even the implementation of this law was not possible, and until recently there were managers who held important responsibilities in the organization. Youthism, of course, began gradually from the time of Abdul Ali Ali Askari on the radio, and some young managers were hired in managerial positions.
The generation of TV executives in this one or two years was not yet completely young until this week, the directors of 6 TV channels were appointed in the new era. Managers whose first look at their age in the mid-1960s shows that something special is happening on television, and now television has suddenly taken off its skin and changed generations. This time, the helm of management has been entrusted to the managers of the 60’s to try their luck and especially the national media antenna.
However, mere youthfulness is not ideal, and the broadcaster certainly needs creative, yet experienced, and experienced forces that can cope with the challenges and crises of television at a time when it is no longer a competitive arena. However, the directors appointed in the networks have already held various positions in festivals, institutions and even the production departments of television, cinema and publications. How can young people move in the direction of the organization’s transformation plans, and will this special event lead to a positive and surprising outcome?
Meysam Moradi, born in 1961, Hamed Bamrutnejad, born in 1962, Hossein Shah Moradi, born in 1967, and Sadegh Bateni, born in 1967, were among the managers who have been entrusted with the command of the main and important television channels. .
There was also an important point in introducing some of these managers that in some cases it seemed that they could not give a proper assessment of the person’s reputation and position. For example, in the introduction of the resume of one of the managers, who happened to be older than the others, his presence in popular TV programs was mentioned as an expert, and this type of resume created more marginalization than progress.
Now we have to see how this group of young managers can take a step towards fulfilling the main slogan of the Jebli Pact to organize the position of the national media in the eyes of the audience; Can they implement the slogan of “transformation”?
Tip of the week; The rulings that go ahead!
As strange as the story of the revelation of the Simorgh winners of the Fajr Film Festival was, the publication of the appointment decrees of the head of the national media, in any channel and cyberspace group other than the official principles of public relations of the Radio and Television, can be strange and unfortunate. It does not matter if it is one hour or even less.
The fact that cyberspace can easily access the most confidential appointment decrees and publish the news of the appointment along with the decrees signed by the head of the broadcaster shows how negligent the public relations department of the broadcaster or even the divisions that were supposed to protect them were.
What happened a few days ago regarding the sentence of Mohsen Barmahani, the new deputy director of the National Media Broadcasting Company, and first the news of his appointment was spread along with his sentence in some channels and groups, and before the official public relations site of the radio, it was leaked to cyberspace.
The most interesting point after this incident is that the news of this ruling is one of the most important communiqués of the Radio and Television Organization (because the Deputy Director of Radio and Television has the second most important organizational position, especially in the Deputy Director of Radio and Television). It was published on Twitter by Hossein Gharaei, the organization’s esteemed director general of public relations, and was placed on the radio’s public relations website at some distance.
It seems that the legacy of Nambarak, the former head of public relations of the Radio and Television, who had previously published the important news of the organization via personal Twitter, has spread to the new managers of this key part of the Radio and Television! However, personal Twitter can never have the status of official organizational information, especially for the radio station, which again has a media identity towards each of its organizations in the first way, and any tribune and media medium with any amount of global trends in its sub-sector. Placed. With this view, the personal page of Twitter and Instagram certainly can not have the status of a public relations tribune of the Radio.
Hossein Gharayi is the Director General of Public Relations of the Radio and Television, and he has been in this position for less than a year now. During this period, he has taken steps to facilitate the blocked relations and interactions with the organization, and now he hopes to take this path as much as his professional principles require, as this week and after the strange process of informing about the appointment of the new deputy of Sima. In sending the news about the appointment of TV network managers before each channel and group and before personal tweets, everything was informed through the official public relations bases of the entire radio station and placed on the site.
Cinema on TV; Remove cinema from Sima?
It was earlier this year that another TV brand went out of business; “Shahr-e Farang” program on the news network, which dealt with the problems and events of the Iranian cinema for almost 7 years. The program was less marginal and less criticized by cinema lovers, but as it was rich, it talked every week with the presence of various figures from critics and experts to filmmakers and officials.
Hamid Reza Modaqiq, the host of “Shahr-e Farang” program on the news network, announced the closure of this program on his Instagram page, which was widely reflected on social networks, and many called the end of this film program unfortunate.
Now, with the closure of this program, the television is empty of any cinema program, there is no news about “Haft” on Channel 3 and no news about “Cinema Criticism” on Channel 5; The programs, each of which aired for several seasons, have been recognized and branded, and are now shut down one after another.
There have always been uncertainties about “Seven” and from time to time it has changed for the time being by changing the performer and producer. This time, by changing the position of producer of this program, Mojtaba Ameni, who has been selected as the secretary of Fajr Festival this year, with a 99% certainty, a team or at least another producer must be replaced. In fact, it is unlikely that Amini will want to continue producing “Haft” while retaining his position.
In the vacuum of television cinema programs, we should also refer to radio programs, some of which have seriously addressed the most important cinema issues and challenges, and in terms of current affairs, invited guests and how to pay, the “standard cinema” program, which also raped and The May You movement in cyberspace and the smuggling of films on the screens of Iranian cinema or “cinematographer”, “open parenthesis” are examples of this.
Offer of the week; Book exhibition with “Asr Saba”
This year, despite the expectation from the TV channels that they would have special programs to cover the book fair event, fewer programs for this purpose have been considered on television. Some programs are just a few minutes dedicated to the book fair, and some are among the programs that take the camera to the book fair from time to time.
However, if, like every year, you do not have the desire to go to the book fair or you have the desire but do not have the money to buy books, each of which is now several times as much as the baguette’s bread, we suggest you join “Asr Saba” on Saba Radio.
The program is scheduled to air on the radio every day from the book fair, and you can stay up to date with the events of the fair, books, publishers and even the opinions of ordinary people visiting the fair.
“Asr Saba” introduces newly published books and talks to their publishers and authors. Also, if you are interested in the field of humor, you will follow the program more because the focus of the program is on humor books.
There is also a criticism of the directors of the radio station in the same year that they did not allow “Open Book” to go on the air, wishing that at least one or two book-based programs were aired so that it could be a special cover of the book fair these days. Especially since yesterday, the first meeting of TV directors was held at the book fair and this cultural event was emphasized. The book fair was emphasized.
