Abstract

People's Enhanced literacy on the Internet on the one hand, and the development of production and distribution channels on the other, has brought about the increasing growth of social networks and user-produced contents. Among the social networks' effects on news channels, one could refer to transformation of traditional journalism and the way these media channels produce and air news across the world. The present exploratory case study aims to take a structural and professional look at the effects of social media on principles of journalism in the BBC, and presents their implications in the IRIB. The findings indicate that to preserve professionalism in journalism and maintain balance between speed and accuracy in news, the BBC has created a focused structure, i.e. "user-created contents pole", for purveying news sources from social networks, while developing a mechanism for evaluating and filtering such contents. Furthermore, training news staff on the one hand, and empowering audiences to produce content on the other, is indicative of the BBC attitude towards employing social media.
