The Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance is published as a monthly.
He stated: "Relying on knowledge, skills and observing the principles of professional ethics of journalism, the monthly magazine of industries and mines tries to establish its policy and strategy by creating a bridge between government and governmental institutions in charge of industry and mining with the activists of this sector." "Build four axes of transparency, criticism, questioning and accountability."
According to the professor, "The realization of these strategies depends on strengthening the relationship of each media with ethics and clarifying the mechanism of financing it. For the press, transparency in the economic field is an unavoidable necessity, and according to the press law, the financial dependence of each media must be known. The concealment or concealment of media interference and expenditure leads to a decline in media freedom, a gradual decline in its legitimacy and closure, and on the other hand, monopoly and advertising as the most important source of income can largely guarantee the economic independence of the media, especially the press. »
"Without sustainable self-reliance, no media can insist on its function and charter of professional ethics," said the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Industries and Mines, stating that "the media has to resolve its own financial issues."
"The issue of media economics has always been a challenge and a threat to maintaining the professional and ethical identity of the press, and for many years most editors have not been able to cope with this threat," Ishaqi added.
Pointing out that "media economics" as a field of theoretical and scientific studies has received a great deal of attention from researchers in recent decades, the university professor warned: "Weak financial strength and lack of sustainable mechanisms for The effective support of the government or the government for the fourth pillar of democracy has quietly turned off the light of many presses. »
"The economic death of the media, unlike its political death, is a silent death," he recalled.
The Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Industries and Mines then emphasized the importance of the media in the development of democracy and economic prosperity: Critical and free presses link democracy to development, and their social role in the context of appropriate, transparent and timely information leads to better allocation. And it becomes more efficient resources and more equitable distribution of facilities, and through information and advertising, brings growth and prosperity to industries and economic stability.
