Abstract
Media management is one of newly established topics in interdisciplinary studies, especially in the field of audio-visual media. Therefore, few studies have been done on T.V news production management. The very few researchers who study T.V news management usually look at the topic with an outsider’s eye. This paper aims to identify the factors affecting the communication management of TV newsroom to provide a suitable model for the case study of the IRIB newsroom as a study platform. The current research is based upon subjects related to the different communication theories and Actor-Network Theory to discover the interactions and relationships between human and nonhuman actors in the newsroom as the network. Grounded Theory was used to collect and analyze data. 34 journalists and managers of IRIB newsroom were purposefully selected as sample. To achieve the results, the researcher has conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews, observations and collected documentation related to the research questions. It is found that organizational structure and culture, motivation and employee satisfaction, leadership and management styles, and most importantly, new technologies are the factors affecting the T. V newsroom communication management, and with changing communication, news production practices and management impact news management practices and speed. Meanwhile, they have provided the news practitioner with more opportunities to increase the amount of news production, interaction of news workers, and exchange of experience and knowledge within the framework of their environment. At the end, according to the research findings, the model of news communication management in IRIB newsroom was presented.
