An Analysis of Processes of Cultural Policymaking and Media Policymaking

Abstract

Since the multiplicity and diversity issues and problems in a society and the plurality of different perspectives and viewpoints to a single issue is very expensive, and the possibility of policymaking for all of these issues is not available; therefore, we have to make policies from among a host of issues only for more general issues. Further, policymaking is an act which is very sensitive and should be conducted in an appropriate and scientific method; otherwise the made policy not only cannot eliminate any problem, but also per se can be changed into a tremendous problem. Accordingly, the present article is to present different stages of cultural policymaking with regard to media science in an accurate and applied way. The method employed in this study is descriptive-analytical and data were collected using library research. The findings indicate that using a scientific research, the occurrence of many problems and challenges in the society can be avoided as easily as possible and any negligence in each stage can result in disastrous consequences.
