Abstract
This study deals with the strategic analysis of the role of state change in the socio-political approach of state media, which should operate within the framework of public interests and public services. By analyzing the comic quality content of 60 editorial articles of Iran newspaper during the sixth to twelfth governments, while explaining the position of the press in political culture-making, its impact on the socio-political development strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran was evaluated. The seven axes of "nuclear files", "analysis of news events", "criticism of the positions of opposition factions", "defense of government performance and services", "examination of government positions in foreign policy", "government-parliament confrontation" and "religious-appropriate news" were extracted. According to this study, with the change of strategy and political management of the country in the new government, this media focuses on the framework of sub-discourse and programs of the incumbent government; during the four periods of change in government structure, it has limited its role to representing the established political discourse, rather than being a public service medium. Also, due to the direct influence of the executive on its management structure, the Iranian newspaper undergoes a change in political orientation, which seems to have the function of preventing conflict in institutions due to the nature of this cultural institution and aligning the state media orientation and socio-political development strategy. The research results help strategic planners to make the best use of government media due to their multifaceted functions in socio-political development.
