Abstract

The involvement of ideology in the text is the main axis that connects linguistic and discourse studies together. The discursive study of the media with the aim of explaining the techniques used in competitions and conflicts is a broad field that is often conducted in Iran about visual, audio and written English-language media. Researches have also been done on Arabic media.
Entman's framing theory tries to represent the author's goals from the written text by using interpretive methods and to discover and represent the hidden content of the message through the interpretation of the text and its implicit meanings (Iman, Mohammad Taqi and Noshadi, Mahmoudreza (1390). " Qualitative Content Analysis ". Ayar Quarterly Journal of Research in Human Sciences. Tehran: Imam Khomeini Educational and Research Institute (RA). Number 6. pp. 15-44.).

Considering the importance of the media as an influential element in the formation of thoughts and beliefs and the spread of desired ideas in societies and on a large scale, this research has analyzed the media frameworks and the techniques used in the process of implementing these frameworks.
