Abstract
TV news consists of two dimensions, form and content. Regardless of the content, the form of television news is one of the important elements in attracting audiences. The main question of this research is, what models do Persian language TV channels use to produce and present news to their audience? In this research, the styles of news presentation in "60 Minutes" news section on BBC Farsi and "Ataq Khabar" news section on "Man and You" channel were investigated. The findings show that a model that can be called popular is used in the news section of "Newsroom" of "Man and You TV Network". This platform is based on the aspects of pathos in the rhetoric of the news and tries to influence the emotions of the viewers. "Analytical model" is mainly used in the "Sixty Minutes Program" of the BBC Persian TV channel. which uses news reports and interviews with expert or academic personalities or experts and managers of global organizations and generally well-known and reliable people to develop news. On the other hand, it seems that the newsroom of Man and to network uses a combination of elements of commercial and theatrical performance in its news execution, while the Sixty Accurate program tries to combine different styles (ethical, commercial and theatrical) in order put your work.
