Epistemology as a modern science that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century, ,
Especially after the earthquake of the basic physical and chemical sciences motivated by
revolutionary theories such as relativism, suspicion, quantum and other w
here she said the
epistemology of all science ... What next?
this science extended to all sciences (physics, mathematics, logic, history, curriculum,
psychology, media … etc) in a horizontal way, where these sciences have become a basic and
important discipline of epistemology, including the science of the media, which is defined as
the transmission of information (knowledge, events, cultural spiritual values) by means of
technical ways to many and wide numbers of the masses. The media in this sense
communicates with the masses, which is the objective expression of the mentality , culture and
spirit of society, which constitute the logical basis for this community.
The media after the rapid technological development at the beginning of the twentieth
century can be considered as science as the rest of science, which are linked with each other,
through its general and specific theories, representing by measuring tools and scientific
methods.
Here lies the importance of this research, which deals with the relationship between the
media and epistemology, and their participation in the analysis of the cognitive process and the
production of the media content, since the epistemology is a higher level activity, the subject of
it is the science itself, it is thinking about science.
As we said above the media is a new science, and who controls this science and the
operator of it is the journalist who deals all time with new information, as the media message
or media content, is manufactured by a specialist. This intellectual cognitive process deserves
to be stopped, especially as it corresponds to the scientific thinking that meant the
epistemology of a critical study and analysis and discover its holdings and talk about its
obstacles.
This research also aims to overcome the cognitive obstacles that Bashaalar said, which
suffers from every worker in the general knowledge of humanity, the scientific and media
thinking in particular, and the scientific thinking of those which is based on the media process
. In order to reach the scientific stage and beyond the non-scientific stage.
