In today’s world media and news communication between countries is important from different aspects, some of which are mentioned below:1
– Preparing the ground for creating a better and reciprocal understanding among governments and nations: Having an influence on public opinion and
politicians, the media can provide the ground for a better and more complete understanding among nations and governments, and by providing news and correct
narratives, they can, in many cases, rectify wrong information and false images.
2 – Continuity and stabilization of relations between governments: Media can play an irreplaceable role in the continuation and stabilization of political and
non-political relations between governments. By following up on accords and treaties and highlighting the importance of relations between countries, the media can put this issue on the agenda of statesmen and help stabilize it.
3 – Forming public opinion and fostering relations between nations: The most important and effective role of media occurs when their narrative is reflected in the public opinion of the people of a country and shapes the perception of the people and statesmen of another country. Creating the right image in the minds of the people of a country, on the one hand, promotes strong and serious support for the relationship between the governments, and on the other hand, it leads to important cultural and economic benefits for the two countries.
