Summary
Chapter 2 examines the conjectural circumstances that prompted commercialism, popular culture, and women’s magazines in Iran. Addressing the Iranian media structure, the discussion focuses on three major dimensions in the local media system: the development of the popular print media market, with particular emphasis on circulation; moves toward journalistic professionalism; and the nature of state intervention.
