The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of new media consumption upon the entrepreneurial intention of the students of entrepreneurship at Tehran University. The method applied in the research was a questionnaire-based survey, with the statistical population consisting of all M.A. and PhD students selected using the stratified sampling method. The results showed a significantly direct relationship between the use of new online media and all variables. The structural equation-modeling analysis of the theoretical model, based on AMOS software, was employed. In the modeling process, the basic model was modified for three times and the final model was extracted and analyzed based on the Goodness-of-Fit Index. The analysis of the relationships in the final model suggested that the use of new Internet media did not directly influence the students' entrepreneurial intentions but indirectly affected their entrepreneurial intentions by influencing their perceived desirability, feasibility, and pragmatism.
