Media Radio is a life-giving and informative and influential member of the national media family.

In a part of this ceremony, Amirhossein Modares came on stage and said: I believe that my second family is behind me because of the radio.

Let me tell you that I am the last host of the ceremony
In the continuation of Peyman Talebi, he said: I am giving the good news that I am the last host of the ceremony. He also joked that there are more people in the lobby than in the hall.
In this ceremony, Talebi invited Dawood MP to come to the stage. In a part of the ceremony, an excerpt of his voice was played on Raz Baqa documentaries, and then the representative was honored as Iran’s Mr. Documentary.
Then Peyman Jabali, the head of Sedavasima, took the stand and stated in his words: “It is a success for me that I was able to be in the company of radio broadcasters three times in one month.” I was among the veterans once, two weeks ago I was in the radio citadel complex and I am with you tonight.
The head of the radio station added: Radio alone is a topic for making many documentaries. The door and the wall, the studio and the martyrs of radio are an honor for all of us broadcasters, or should I say for us radio people, and these are the subject of making a documentary. The job of the media is to show and see. This is the middle work of watching the documentary carefully. The radio documentary has a very difficult task, it has to show detail and depth without images.
He continued: Radio documentary work is definitely more difficult and delicate than television documentary. If the work of producing and making radio documentaries is more difficult than television, the production work in centers is also more difficult than in Tehran.
Jabali said: “With all the honors that our colleagues in broadcasting have achieved in the field of documentary production, but what should be seen and documented about has not yet been done.”
Yadgaran epic is the subject of making a documentary
Referring to Sardar Fazli and the son of martyr Kazemi, he said: “Hamasha relics, artists who gave meaning to our history and geography with their lives and blood, each of them are the subject of making a documentary.” How much do we understand about these people? How much bravery, sacrifice and bravery we have depicted these people. Maybe tens of thousands of documentaries can be made from these. If the heroes of the holy defense were twenty to thirty-year-old youths who created the epic of the holy defense, their children in the following years created other epics of progress and the country’s nuclear industry.
The head of Sedavasima added: Defense industries of the country, various fields in nanotechnology are among these subjects for making documentaries. From here, I suggest that a progress award should be considered in the documentary festival. We need to show our people and our young generation what honors their generations have achieved. The numerous honors of our country should be depicted and heard by the people and the world. Depicting and narrating is the great progress of documentary mission.
Jabali stated: Our proud history after the revolution and the lesson-filled history before the revolution should be depicted, it should be known what blessings we have in the freedom and independence environment.
He also mentioned Musa Najafi’s book on constitutionalism and said: The correct writing of the history of artistic recording in the form of a documentary, the recording of bravery is one of the heavy missions of you artists and our colleagues outside the national media.
Later, the son of martyr Ahmad Kazemi mentioned memories of his father.
