Portrayal of Geopolitical Codes Concerning Iran In "Time Magazine"
From 1950-2000
The above map is from 1958 and depicts an alliance
of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan as an awesome wall against Soviet
expansion. In today's language it could be called an "Axis
of Freedom". Well, suffice to say, Iran's role in any worldwide
"Axis" has certainly changed since then. How has Time
Magazine's reporting of Iran's geopolitical role developed over
the period of 1950 to today? That is the question our group tackled.
We have examined how "Time" has written
about the geopolitical significance of Iran through four major historic
time periods:
- 1950 - 1969
- 1970 - 1978
- 1979 - 1989
- 1990 - Today
