As modern values develop, centralization of the body is ascending. Statistics of cosmetic surgeries and makeup usage vividly clarifies the intensification of paying attention to the body. The term “body as a project” means that nowadays body management has turned into a routine process in order to identify the one’s personality for and unlike the past it does not belong to the elites anymore. Within this process, the media have an influential effect. Alongside the media, the popularity of social networks such as Instagram has led to many social consequences. This research is to discuss the effects of Instagram on body management among women by adopting a survey research method. Statistical population for this study includes women from 15 to 55 years of age who live in districts 1 and 20 of Tehran. the data was collected via a questionnaire. Multistage probability sampling is used to analyze the data gathered. the results suggest the more women use Instagram, the more they care about the idea of body management. Also how they use Instagram would affect the level of the management; this means women who follow celebrities pay more attention to their body. These women are not satisfied enough with their appearance and body. The results prove that there is a strong relationship between the usage of social media and the change in values women in Iran have regarding the body.

Post-television, as a result of media convergence, does not mean the death of television but it can be understood as the restructure of television production, distribution and consumption modes. Media convergence as a structural change threatens broadcasting institutions and Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), as a state-owned broadcaster with monopolistic position, faces more challenges. Through a face-to-face, in-depth interviews, this study shows, IRIB recognizes the potential and challenges of new environment and puts suitable activities on its agenda include launching Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT), establishing new channels, upgrading some channels to HD, using Satellite for signal distribution at national level and initiating some regional and global satellite television channel in English, Arabic, and Spanish. There is a variety of critiques to these activities: a Technophilia approach affects IRIB plans; in absence of a market system, IRIB have to rely on insufficient command system and finally, national security is main drive of IRIB development.
