Abstract

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 where 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.
