Abstract
As a developing sport in Iran, kabaddi has seen a lot of progress, but at the same time, challenges may still affect its future, especially since there is limited understanding about its possible future and the ways in which there is a corresponding future to be traversed. In this study, a multi-stakeholder scenario planning was used to develop future scenarios of Iran's Kabaddi sports, using stakeholders' points of view on the trends and critical uncertainties that may shape the future of Kabaddi sports to create action-oriented strategies. The participants of the present study included 28 domestic and foreign beneficiaries of Iran's Kabaddi sports, who were selected based on targeted sampling. Data was collected through interviews and open questionnaires. Data analysis was done with the six-step model of combined scenario planning of Lipzig and Rollandberger. The findings and analysis of 29 main factors obtained led to the production of two key uncertainties and four scenarios with titles of champion, super league, active lifestyle and always loser. In order to develop Kabaddi sports in Iran, there should be a transformation in the structure of the process with the aim of institutionalizing Kabaddi sports in geographical dimensions with a professional and universal approach.

Abstract
Professional ethics in sports media plays a vital role in ensuring the accuracy, fairness, and accountability of sports news reporting, significantly shaping audience trust and the credibility of the media. The primary aim of this study is to propose a specialized model for news coverage in Iranian sports media, with a strong emphasis on professional ethics. Adopting Charmaz’s (2006) constructivist grounded theory approach, this qualitative research gathered data through purposive sampling, combined with the snowball sampling technique. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 experts in sports management, communication, and media, with the sample size determined by theoretical saturation. Data analysis was facilitated using NVivo V.12 software for systematic manual coding. The findings suggest that the proposed professional model for sports media news coverage, grounded in professional ethics, comprises five key components: producing content with a localized focus, fostering effective interaction with the target audience, diversifying content and programming, continuously adapting to audience needs, and aligning content and language with audience preferences. This model emphasizes the importance of ethically accurate and truthful reporting of sports events, while also ensuring responsiveness to audience needs and feedback. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of developing content that respects audience rights and reflects professional ethical standards. Key recommendations include expanding localized news coverage and organizing interactive events to enhance audience engagement.
