Abstract
The present study, a qualitative research, aims to shed lights on the status of Media Management as an academic major in Iran, using views of professionals and specialists of the field. The views and ideas of the participating specialists consisted of two groups, i.e. IRIB and electronic media’s CEOs as well as media management university instructors, were gathered through interviews and questionnaires and finally analyzed. The validity of the research questionnaire was confirmed through direct contact with the specialists and elites taking part in the study. The results show that for the time being Media Management doesn’t have the required affectivity to train media managers in Iran, given the major’s designed objectives. Accounting for the weaknesses of the current related program, the present study proposes a new branch for Media Management named “Radio-TV Management” as an appropriate model to be used in M.A. course.
