And how have each of the domestic and external media influenced the students' political participation?This research has been done with a quantitative approach and survey method and using a questionnaire. The research sample includes 380 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students who were selected by stratified sampling method and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire. Findings indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between realizing the content of domestic media, targeted use of domestic media and the use of domestic media with political participation, and between the variables of targeted use of external media, non-targeted use of external media. And the use of external media has a significant and inverse relationship with political participation. It was also found that Agenda-setting theory about the influence of the media on political participation can be traced; Not only can the media influence the level of political participation, but also the priorities, the choice of dimensions and types of political participation. Finally, the results of regression analysis also showed that the variables of targeted use of external media and targeted use of domestic media were the strongest predictors of changing political participation among students.
