With the advent and ubiquity of modern media, the problem of fake news has become increasingly important. Younger people, especially students, are more vulnerable to cyberspace. The purpose of this study is analyzing the type and amount of news consumption and media literacy of high school students as well as their parents' caring behavior. The statistical population was high school students of Tehran from which 466 students were selected by cluster sampling method. The data were collected using a questionnaire based on Craft, Ashley and Maksl Research and James Potter's Cognitive Media Literacy Model. The results have shown that the students' media literacy is moderate. There is a relationship between the diversity and amount of news consumption, educational area and parents' occupations with students' media literacy. But no significant relationship between gender and media literacy has been detected. It has been found that 38% of parents do not do anything for protecting their children against the media, while the rest content themselves with mere talk about it. Finally, 57% of students said that their high school Thought and Media Literacy course was not helpful.

In this article, we examine audiences’ interaction with news media. The main question is what the status of news and news media is in the everyday life of the audiences. For this purpose, using semi-structured interview method, 29 individual and group interviews with 54 Tehran citizens from different age and sex groups were conducted.
Results show that the news presence in the audiences’ everyday life is ritual. The experience of news absence makes this rituality more apparent. Interviewees simultaneously confront with news from both domestic and foreign news televisions (which are contained established official discourse in Iran and rival discourses) because of five specific reasons and uses: access to the reality of an event, access to knowledge about rival discourse, coercion and monopoly, trust on news of domestic and foreign televisions, attraction and professionalism. In addition, the pattern of news consumption among Tehranian audiences can be categorized into five levels: weak, medium, strong (discrete - purposive, continuous, non-purposive, and continuous- purposive). Moreover the level of trust on media among people who have a strong relationship with the media is low due to the variety of available discourses.
