Media Should Provide Solutions to Solve the Current Situation

TEHRAN (Defapress) - On the sidelines of the International Hope Media Cup Festival, the Deputy Press Secretary of the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Nowruzpour, stated to reporters: We hope that there will be more campaigns of hope in the country and more lights will be lit on the path of development and prosperity of the country.

Nowruzpour continued: There is a direct relationship between psychological security and creating hope in the country; the more psychological security increases, the more hope will increase in the country.

The Deputy Press Secretary of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance stated: If someone in society thinks that he has the minimum living standards and that his physical security is ensured, his psychological security and hope will definitely increase.

He added: The media can provide solutions to solve the current situation in society; if the media wants to constantly sow the seeds of despair in the country, the psychological security of the society will weaken and vice versa.

Nowruzpour, stating that one of the main components of psychological security is to find solutions to crises, emphasized: Simply expressing problems does not cure the pain of society, and the media must examine the pain of society and provide solutions for it to solve the problems of society.

Referring to the importance of the media being open-minded in solving the problems of society, the Deputy Press Secretary of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance reminded: One of the secrets of psychological security is unity and cohesion, because the hand of God will be with the community.

He clarified: The media plays an important role in strengthening ethnic unity and the cohesion of society, and each of us is responsible in this regard. We must fulfill our civic duty to unite the society; if our society becomes anxious and worried about our news, it means that we have not fulfilled our moral, religious, and journalistic duty properly.

The Deputy Press Secretary of the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance emphasized: Political bipolarity is due to the low level of psychological security of society; Therefore, we must be careful not to aggravate the main problems of society, and this can be achieved by performing our duties correctly and accurately in publishing news.

In an interview with Defapress correspondent, he also referred to the role of the media in explaining the imposed 12-day war and stated: The role of the media in explaining this war was good, positive, and valuable, which is very important.

Stating that the media played an important role in creating the resilience of society, the Deputy Press Secretary for the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance emphasized: The domestic media helped the society to be more resilient in the face of events during the 12-day war.

Referring to the role of the domestic media in explaining and reflecting the oppression and authority of the country, he emphasized the need to strengthen national cohesion in society and added: We witnessed remarkable solidarity and a united Iran during the 12-day war, and this was only possible with the cooperation and synergy of the media and the correct explanation of the realities of the war.

Finally, in response to the question of whether the performance of the domestic media during the 12-day war was positive, Nowruzpour noted: The performance of the domestic media was positive and good; of course, perhaps a few media outlets reflected less news about the events of the war; but the outcome of most of the media was positive, and I have repeatedly mentioned this issue.
