Television production, or television producing, as an academic specialty, is as old as television itself. In Iran, this academic field has expanded almost simultaneously with universities in other parts of the world, training multiple generations of creative and influential graduates: a long list of alumni who have become lasting and global names in various fields of cinema, television, and visual arts. Although the initial goal of this field was to train specialists for purely television program production, today television program production has found new meanings: changes in media forms and the presence of internet televisions have redefined the goals of this academic field. A graduate of television production in today’s world is an artistic manager who combines the ability to work collectively and lead individuals in the process of creating programs based on local culture with artistic creativity.
