“To the horizon of Palestine” was a stateless person/ the experience of a dialogue-oriented program once again – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news

In a note, Mohammad Mahdi Rahmati, the responsible director of Mehr Media Group, reviewed the television program “Beh Oqf Palestine”.

This note states:

Once again, a conversation-driven program experience

The production team of the program “To the Horizon of Palestine” changed after almost a month of activity. Does this mark the end of the program and the elimination of the media need that this program sought to fill?

It was not the first to the horizon of Palestine

Since the second half of 1401 and at the same time with the disturbances, the radio and television tried to create a field of social dialogue in the field of the theoretical foundations of the revolution and the Islamic Republic and spread it in different layers. The presence of political figures and theoreticians of different schools of thought in special news interviews, “Saf Aol” and the production of “Shiweh” program was done with this view; But in the middle of the way, it stopped or changed its nature due to various reasons.

“To the horizon of Palestine” in relation to such experiences

Perhaps the first issue that the creators of the “To the Horizon of Palestine” program should have thought about was the reasons for the failure of the previous experiences, which happened to be tested in the recent management period of the organization. Experiences that show that understanding the need for dialogue is not an extra-organizational idea, and by the way, external feedback has stopped or changed the course of the experiences of the past year.

It seems that the production of these conversation-oriented programs is based on 2 indicators, one of which is weakness and the other is strength. First, the weakness and emptiness of a progressive dialogue that will make different political and social groups interact around a correct central idea and transfer this interactive space to the community level, and secondly, the policymakers’ estimate of their capacity to produce and maintain such a program, which will definitely cost It has a lot of unexpected things for them.

There is no fixed place between strength and weakness

What can be analyzed today is the existence of deficiencies in both indicators of this analysis.

First, due to the lack of political dialogue culture in the country on the one hand, and the lack of previous referable successful experiences on the other hand, which can create an opportunity to stabilize the program; The attitude of the guests of the program, especially those who are critical of the government and belong to the reform movement, to raise issues unrelated to the topic of the program and defend themselves and their like-minded people in areas that are not related to the program, while causing the program to deviate from its goals, causes pressure on the program makers to The reason for creating political-media opportunity is to cover other issues.

Although, unfortunately, “morality” is the missing link in most of the country’s political activism, and for this reason, it is possible that there will always be issues like this, but it should not be the absence of the continuous experience of political-media dialogue that assures different currents that they will have such opportunities in the future. He considered the possible abuse of the obtained opportunity ineffective.

Regarding the social-political capital of the supporters of such programs, the excessive interference of the political and governance issues, especially regarding some of the main decision-makers of the fundamentalist current, whose political concerns may take on the aspect of governance, hinders the correct understanding of the field and the optimism of understanding the separation of the issue. Political and governance matters are not realistic. This complication is usually not properly analyzed before the start of the broadcast and causes the loss of funds brought to the field.

The program also looks at the horizon of Palestine; As in the previous cases, it was damaged from both the mentioned aspects.

“To the horizon of Palestine” was stateless

One of the main conditions for the success of a program is to have it qualified in the platform where it is produced and broadcast. Choosing a team outside the network to produce the program, assuming the ability and creativity of the team, will cause conflicts with the network and the organization. “To the Horizon of Palestine” was facing this problem from the beginning, and these links did not expand or deepen. Perhaps the same problem still exists in the case of the Oghoz network itself in a larger proportion a decade after its start, and it is one of the obstacles to establishing its identity.

“To the horizon of Palestine” has not set

Despite the reactions that have occurred since last night and with the announcement of the change of the program’s production team, its continuation with the new group shows that the network and the decision makers of the issue, despite the fact that they are looking to correct some issues in the production of the program; But they have not deviated from the previous approach of the program. It is natural that a program at this level needs the integrated support of the chain of design, production and television broadcasting, and what happened in the program can be analyzed from this point of view. Although maintaining this program in the current situation requires brainstorming sessions to use the capacity of resistance to increase integration and social dialogue.

The necessity of an independent and phenomenological analysis of “Toward the Palestinian Horizon”

One of the most important levers in improving the quality of production and the level of analysis of the Revolutionary Front is to strengthen independent analyzes that do not study phenomena in the form of conventional frameworks that are sometimes politicized or dependent on groups and intellectual currents. Although the observer’s role cannot be completely independent of his lived experience and the values ​​approved by him; But it should not cause the neglect of comprehensiveness or labeling that closes the way to intradiscourse interactions. Naturally, with this method, criticisms will be more audible and the capacity to use lessons and experiences will increase.
