TV and Radio: Next year we will have a drop in quality/ “Salman” may stop! – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to Mehr news agency, citing the public relations of the national media, at the same time as the publication of the budget bill of 1402, this year as well, according to the suspicious practice of the last few years, there has been a media frenzy with the publication of false news about the budget of radio and television. But this time, with the claim of a 47% increase in the broadcasting budget, a new controversy has started to create space against the national media.
The Public Relations of the Broadcasting Organization informs to enlighten the public opinion: “According to the Law of the Sixth Development Plan, the government is obliged to consider at least seven tenths of the country’s general budget as the budget of the Broadcasting Corporation, a figure that is basically compared to other parts of the country and their level of influence. As well as competing networks, it is very inadequate. However, this amount has never been realized.
In 1402, the general government budget 2164 It is an effort and it is determined by a simple calculation that at least 15 efforts should be allocated as a budget for radio and television in this year’s budget. This year, with the transfer of Sedavsima’s credit approved in Note 14 to the main row, this row has actually only grown by 15% compared to 1401, and this ratio is even lower than the 20% increase in government employees’ salaries in the proposed bill.
Therefore, considering the gap of almost 4 times between the production rates in the private sector and home shows with the radio and television rates and the lack of proper growth of the organization’s production budget in consecutive years and also in the budget bill 1402 Practically, the radio antenna will face a serious drop in quantity and quality and will not be able to respond to the needs of the audience and to produce and broadcast great dramatic and non-dramatic works for the general audience.
On the other hand, a separate budget has not been considered for the two historical collections of “Hazrat Musa (AS)” and “Hazrat Salman”. Therefore, it is expected that the production process of these two collections will be stopped or severely slowed down.
The reason for the purple screams of hostile and lying media regarding the budget of the national media is known. A strong and well-known radio and television is the bane of the evil plans of the enemies of Islamic Iran, so the agenda is clear: “Attack on the budget of radio and television with the aim of generating money for the nation’s lawyers to strengthen the national media.”
In this confrontation, however, the harmony of some domestic media is surprising. The supreme leader of the revolution’s expectation from the government and parliament to strengthen the national media is clearly stated in the general policies of the 7th plan. We hope that with the decisive decision of the Revolutionary Assembly and the support of the people’s government, a strong response will be given to the media plan of the sworn enemies of the Iranian nation, and that the conditions will be created for the realization of quantitative and qualitative transformation in the production of artistic and stream-building works based on identity and justice.
