Abstract Cyberspace (Internet) is one of the emerging media that is widely used due to its high penetration rate, attractiveness, and speed of information transfer. The concept of saviorism, due to its questionability and attractiveness to the audience, has not escaped the attention of various media, especially Western media. In this regard, Mahdism (Islamic saviorism) has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, and various Western media have addressed this issue in various news, analytical, reporting, or documentary formats. This article examines some of these examples in information and news-analytical websites, and discusses the way these media view the issue of salvationism - especially Shiite Mahdism - and explains the positive and negative aspects of this view. In addition, it examines the effects of issues such as political events and religious beliefs on this media propaganda process. Finally, suggestions are presented to counter and correct the Western media view.
