The importance of media activity in presenting a suitable image of the Arbaeen walk

According to Fars News Agency’s Radio and TV reporter, Masoumeh Nasiri, a media literacy expert, regarding the importance of media literacy and its related points in Salam Tehran program, said: In the past years, we have been faced with a severe boycott and a strange reversal by the opposition media regarding the walk. We have faced Arbaeen; Fortunately, during these years, we managed to change the situation and improve the conditions. Arbaeen walking and visiting the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) alone has all the media points, and for this reason, the media does not need to advertise for it, because people do this with their love.

The importance of using the civilizational capacities of Arbaeen walking

Nasiri continued: What is media in its heart, makes the media only need to convey some components to the ears of others. It is very important to use the cultural capacities of the Arbaeen walk, which should be the attention of the media. The media should inform their audience about its cultural and civilizational importance and reasons. By informing the audience, we can provide them with knowledge about the route in addition to their interest in the route. Such actions will cause the bipolarity of beliefs to disappear and confront the opposing media.

He continued: In the field of education, the media should take measures so that the pilgrims face growth and progress after their journey, so that they can make the most of the Arbaeen walk. This walk is a very ready space that we can use so that pilgrims and Muslims want to continue walking with interest. We have to represent to present the image of a Shia Imam Hosseini (peace be upon him). Fortunately, we always witness the harmony and fraternity of pilgrims with others during the Arbaeen procession.

Using the capacity of Arbaeen to propagate and transmit Islamic values

He stated: The events that took place during the Arbaeen walk have the ability to be an important topic for psychologists, sociologists and other scientists to research so that they know what happens to cause people to empathize in Arbaeen. With research in this field, we can turn it into course units. We must use the capacity of Arbaeen for the propagation and transfer of correct Islamic values.
