The basic question of this article is that what is the difference between online journalists, print and Radio&TV journalists in terms of amount and manner to use Smartphone Tools? Accordingly, in the framework of the survey method and using the tools of the Iranian Journalists' Questionnaire, a statistical analysis of two comparative hypotheses is to be tested: (1) There is a difference between the three groups of online journalists, print journalists and Radio&TV journalists in the "amount" of using Smartphone and (2) there is difference between the three groups of online journalists, print and Radio&TV journalists in the "manner" of using Smartphones. The results showed that there is no significant difference between the "amount" of print and Radio&TV journalists' use of Smartphones, but the amount of online journalists using Smartphones is higher than others. It was also concluded about the "manner" of use. The dominant use of online and print media from Smartphones was "networking" usage and the dominant use of Radio&TV journalists was "communicative" usage.
