In the U.S the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland, her father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English valentine she had received. Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

Behind of Luxury Smiles:

Analyzing The image of Bush

and Arab Crown Prince

“Q Mr. President, the Crown Prince raised the prospect of Saudi support for Iraq's oil embargo, and are you concerned that Arab nations might use oil as a -- try to use oil as a bargaining chip in the Middle East crisis?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, Saudi Arabia made it clear, and has made it clear publicly, that they will not use oil as a weapon. And I appreciate that, respect that, and expect that to be the case.” [1](2002/04/20)

This was one of the Bush’s answers to journalists’ questions in the Ranch of Crawford, Texas, after Meeting with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Although president in this press conference remarked that the most important points of this meeting were about the “peace” and its “stability in the Middle East and the world”, “the

war on terror”, “Israel and Palestine” and so on, but the wave of attitudes and critiques about the published photos of this visit showed that this event has been contributed more than the simple news that was spared about it! Nonetheless the photojournalism is one of the main tools of media for influencing on public opinions but the extended chance of Visual Analysis today, let people to think about the visual icons of news more than before.

Analyzing Visuals

Many studies were titled on visual analysis like Images of Welfare (Golden and Middleton, 1982), Visualising Deviance (Ericson, Baranek and Chan, 1987), Triumph of the Image (Mowlana, Gerbner and Schiller, 1992), and also in Mass Communication Research Methods (Hansen, Cottle, Negrine and Newbold, 1998) one section is devoted to the methods of analyzing “still and moving images”. In this section the authors remarked that “the four means of visual analysis labeled for convenience “distortion”, “symbolic”, “Semitic’, “epistemological” approaches have each deployed a number of methods and techniques”, and in explanation of Epistemological guarantee came that “ the analytical focus and interest is not on the veracity or ‘truthfulness’ of certain images and their forms of distortion analysis, nor on the symbolism of images and their role in the construction of particular story- related meanings, but rather the way in which such images help construct a sense of news as a distinct, and trustworthy, from of knowledge.”(Hansen and others, 1998: 213 and 214)

So with this background I want to begin my work on the journalistic photos that was published with the news of ‘President Bush Meeting with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia’, the photos that in formal view talk about the good relationship between U. S. A, and Saudi governments but behind of these luxury smiles and the climes of protection of Peace in the published news a history of events is existence! As “the project news epistemology, or ‘way of knowing’, pursued by news analysts concerns the generalized ‘objectivity’ climes of news.” (That reference: 214) I am to work on the massages that this verbal Document or record want to transmit and I want to point that how the related photos have been representing this event in the different words!

The Reflections

There are some of clear and agreeable things in this photo, they handed and laughing, they are walking or stand for getting photo, they don’t have any translator, and they are ready for showing off themselves for the newsmaker cameras (main photo) more than it the other things lick the light of sun day or the green colure of the grass that is in their background talk about a kind of happy situation; for the contributing the reflections of this events we could divide audience to three groups, in the names of American, Arab and global;

For American Audience
This photo for American audience, it could be said that, don’t have any means just foreign policy and of course the interests of USA in Persian Golf, in the other word oil, my witnesses for this audience are the journalists points on the press conference that I bring it at the beginning of my article, when they talk about some worries about the decisions of Crown Prince in the future about the oil embargo!

For Arab Audience
But the Arabs reactions about this photo could be over the agreeable relations! My witnesses for this claim is the documents that Craig Unger worked on them (2004), in his book he regarded the relationships between USA and Saudi, during the eighties to September 11, he talked about the majority of “Wahhabis” in Saudi who “ see the United states as the Great Satan” (2004: 83), and they are not satisfied of deep relationships between their country and USA! Also Unger in this book bring some sample for showing this hatefully, for example the car bombe exploding in Riyadh, on November 13, 1995, that killed seven people – five of them Americans-!

Global Audience
The global audiences are the users of cyber space in internet, I mean. In this part I want to bring the other versions of this photo that are formed and emphasized differently.
The first photo emphasized on the Bush and Crown Prince’s hands, this sign pointed that this showing is regarded.

Second and third formed with adding some comments from Bush and Crown Prince, the second’s discourse is about a plan for the oil price and third talks about the culture of Arab nation in one hand and willing to join to it in bush’s idea, about the participation of women in the other hand.

Fourth case has official language, and talks about the oil.

The last case also emphasized on the oil as the undeniable thing for the American newspapers, after the visiting.
So it could be said that the deeper state of routine news is important for global audiences not the absolute information in the news!


Conclusion
“War on terror” according to bush’s comments was main case of discourses between him and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia in his meeting, so we contributed this as the claim of news, but something like reactions in internet about the related photo show that this clime is not true, it means main part of audiences, as American journalists and internet’s users, don’t accepted it! The epistemological approach in analyzing studies images in the construction of knowledge, not simply in relation to particular news items or stories. The context of audience’s opinions and in fact reactions about the news is this knowledge, I mean.

The last reminding is this that Bin Laden as main target of the project of War on Terror has such popularity in Saudi country that “Several militant Islamic fundamentalist groups, claimed credit for Bin Laden and cited him as their major influence.” (Unger, 2004: 171)he Bin Laden in Bush’s comment about Saudi? If the main discourses in that meeting were about Peace so what they think about the main target? So this is the main question that we should think about it more.

Shhh for you

Miss. Christian Amanpour
Journalists are respectable in the world, from every nation every religion and under the govern of every political country, sometimes. They work with this aware that they play with their life! In the best situation or worst, they might are in the danger of misunderstanding! Journalism in developed countries or developing has special dangers because the right and objective report of right always is not in interest of powerfulness! But I think being journalist in the countries that are at the beginning step of practicing Democracy is harder than the others! Defense of freedom of speech, sometimes has heaviest prices for them. They don’t have any guarantee for their job and even suitable insurance for their health their security during their work and retirement, but what is the cause of continuing this way? Attractiveness of policy is not good reason! Because the policy has its interests for the people who could play with this vague tool. All of the journalists in these countries logically could not be policies. I think patriotism and hop for becoming better situation for the country is acceptable answer. At the beginning of February Iran was the host of some experts and journalists for reviewing the nuclear institutions. Like the other journalists, CNN agency also set his famous reporter off to Iran, Christiane Amanpour. She is CNN’s chief international correspondent based in London and before joining CNN, Amanpour worked at WJAR-TV, Providence, R.I., as an electronic graphics designer. Amanpour has reported on most crises from the world’s many hotspots including Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, Somalia, Rwanda and the Balkans, throughout her career Amanpour has succeeded in securing a number of high profile and exclusive interviews with world leaders. Just as Iran’s nuclear crisis was developing, Amanpour secured the first and only interview with Iran’s new president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Without any justice about every country’s right to access to nuclear technology or respect to the internal affairs of every country I am to pointed this interesting things about this symbol of Journalist in the world of media and news! Amanpour who recently, was named a Fellow of the Society of Professional Journalists and she has also been bestowed with a number of honorary degrees from America’s prestigious universities has surprising reactions with Iranian journalists in Iran! Iranian people in February 3 of 2007 were witnesses of shockingly face of Amanpour with Iranian journalists in IRAN TV, “Twenty and Thirty” program showed that how she refuse of answering to questions of Iranian Journalists with rudely voice of Shhh! She didn’t let them to ask and when they want to know they also could go to USA and make report about American policies, he answered hard that “I don’t know.” She practices this rude voice several times and I think this is the sign of her culture or professional work that several times were admired from American media! This professional journalist that talks with Iranian journalists in Persian language (because her ancestors are Iranian) saw herself in the safe guard, this is not important that what she think about the other nation! Maybe she know herself as original American and according to the American illusion, American Exceptionalism, she think is the best nation! But this is very important question for me that what she think about the other journalists as a symbol journalist!? This is the question that should be worked about it! To attention to problems and dungarees of journalists’ work in Iran let me to say Shhh to Mis. Christian Amanpour , because she is not hero for all of the journalists in the world and she doesn’t have right to limit the freedom of speech in every place of the world.
