Television

Today Helen asked the students to write about the Television in their country.
As you may know my country has a specifice situation .We do not have any independent television or channels broadcasting from the country.But there are many independent channels or televisions which are broadcasting from abroad, mostly from the U.S.A .
Our country is a huge country , about twenty five states.We have nearly eight channels which are broadcasting for whole the country and each state has a local channel broadcasting for the local people with their languages and their accents.They are supported and dominated by government.Also there are five channel on the satellite broadcasting for abroad and supported by government too.
Religion is very strong in the country and politic is based on the religion's views ,so censorship is very common for the TV products even newspapers and the Internet.Most of the TV and radio products are effected by current affairs .Many of the independent newspapers have been suppressed and many journalists have been jailed.
Interestingly,the cinema and film production is very successful even they are very limited.
In conclusion we have a good potential in cinema and television's industry and our people like watching television thus we can find out why there are many Farsi language televisions broadcasting from the U.S.A .I believe that in the future technology would not let anybody to do censorship.
