Abstract

The purpose of this study is to problematize the knowledge system of journalism and a historical look at the process of its scientificization. For this issue, Foucault's method / theory of paleontology has been used. Research findings show; Journalism is born from the heart of Amir Kabir, although it is absent at the moment of the birth of journalism knowledge and science, but the birth of the newspaper in Iran is an objective manifestation of journalism knowledge and the emergence of the newspaper in Iran is a product of orientation to the world, even if there is no knowledge. Scientific dissertation is not written. Although at the time of birth the knowledge of journalism was a valuable element for governance and one of its techniques for managing the public mind and was seen as an element of public education, at the time of its establishment and consolidation as an academic science while carrying the elements of birth. But the economic dimension has been added to it and news is a commodity that must be sold and the influence of this new scientific and managerial view of the newspaper can be seen in the way the managers of the two major Iranian newspapers, Kayhan and Information, look at least after the August 1953 coup until the revolution. Islamic 1978 observed. It seems that the science of journalism in Iran became a science under the discourse of education and one of the tools of governance.
