Abstract
The purpose of the research is to identify concepts, subject areas, and approaches of local research in the field of media policy making with emphasis on television and radio policy making. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach by meta analysis. The data were collected from theses related to radio and television policy making from 12 universities and related local scientific databases. The relevance to the subject, type and year of publication was considered in selecting sources. The sample size was 87 researches (m.a. theses, ph.d. Theses, and papers). The results showed that most of the work in this field was content policy making which shows the interest of researchers in this field in IRIB. Research has also addressed the issue of ownership and extent of government involvement in policymaking in the broadcasting industry, but according to the findings, they were ignorant of audience rights (privacy, copyright, etc.) In the radio and television industry. Other issues, such as the power of content providers, were also topics that local researches did not pay attention to, despite their importance in the media policy literature.
