Reviewing the Amount of Attention to the Components of Resistive Economy and How its Discourse is Made in Payesh TV Program

Resistive economy is a concept formulated by Supreme Leader to introduce an endogenous, non-governmental, and knowledge-based economy. Such concept needs discourse making to be actualized, that is, it needs people, private sector, elites, and politicians’ collective participation. Discourse-making means producing scientific and practical literature in order to use and apply the whole capacity of participating groups in resistive economy. National Media is no doubt one of the greatest media capacities to make the discourse of resistive economy, if not the greatest one. A combinatory program in National Media that has taken action in this regard is Payesh whose content is analyzed in this paper. Findings show that the program is very successful in approximating to resistive economy in such components as entrepreneurship, independence from oil, transparency, and consumer economy. However, it is not successful in such components as knowledge-based economy, exporting production, competitive advantages and economic diplomacy, and should work harder.
