Social media and sustainability are the main streams of marketing and business. As technology advances, sustainable marketing focuses on the use of social media, where consumers can directly interact with many other consumers and influence their beliefs and behavior. These influencers create both organic and sponsored content. With the aim of providing a model for sustainable marketing based on influencers in social media in a descriptive manner, this research developed and validated a conceptual framework with the foundation data method through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The statistical community includes social media and sustainable marketing experts and social media influencers, among whom 13 people were selected and participated in this study by purposive sampling. The number of samples follows the rule of saturation. To analyze and analyze the data, the method of open, hidden and selective coding was used. The findings of the research show that concepts were identified in the form of a central category and 12 main categories and 25 sub-categories and 147 concepts or codes. Finally, a sustainable marketing paradigm model based on influencers in social media was presented. Causal conditions including (content competencies, interaction competencies and ability to influence), background conditions including (power of influencers, social companionship), intervening conditions (self-branding of influencers, limitation in content control), strategies (reorientation of marketing mix, online networking), the results were categorized as including (creating self-sustainable forces, inclusive value creation, stable identity).
content competencies,
Content competencies are expertise in the production and distribution of electronic content. An expert in the production and distribution of electronic content must be aware of the principles and rules of standards in the field of content production and distribution. In fact, the requirement to produce a quality and standard content is to fully understand the principles and standards (Khosravi Chekandak and colleagues, 1401).
- Interaction skills,
Engagement Competencies: Social media influencers have been tapped by brands as a strategic marketing communication tool to leverage their electronic word of mouth. are knowledgeable and expert, and regarding brands and products are considered more authentic and trustworthy by consumers than messages created by marketers (Kim & Kim, 2021). The subset of this dimension of causal factors is communication with audiences and participation and preservation of consumer culture. Currently, influencers are employed to create emotional relationships with customers through digital marketing (Khandual & Pradhan, 2019).
- self-sustaining forces,
Self-sustainability is the degree to which people can maintain resources without support. In essence, it refers to the ability and capacity to comply with the three principles of sustainability (economic, social, environmental) independently of the help of others (Rivera-Toapanta et al, 2022).
Green values, which include (green products, green usage culture, and green marketing, etc.), are a product of sustainable development, which mainly refers to individual attitudes and behaviors of sustainable development (Dumont et al, 2017). Mohammadian et al. (2013) believe that manufacturing companies, consumer society and governments are the three vertices of the triangle involved in buying and using green products. In fact, it is consumers who can contribute to sustainability by buying and using green products (environmentally friendly products) (Rahbar & Wahid, 2011). In fact, consumers can contribute significantly by buying products that are less harmful to the environment. to protect the environment (Ranaei Kordesholi et al, 2012) Green marketing includes a wide range of activities that are related to changes in design, production process, packaging as well as product advertising (Polonsky, 1994).
Stable identity
A stable identity is an identity that the people of a group have recognition and commitment to values. If these components are more in people, identity can be stable; Therefore, the stability of identity can be considered as the degree of penetration of stability factors (Hosni et al., 2019). In this article, values such as altruism, moderation, and ethics were introduced in the consumption of sustainable identity indicators
Self-branding.
Self-branding is a process by which people and their professions are known as brands. This process is different from seeking fame and influencing people (Karaduman, 2013). This term refers to a process in which ordinary people gain fans by sharing their interests and lifestyles on social networks. These people gain fame only because of their activity in social networks, and it causes the lack of control over the production content. Perhaps this word can be translated as informal fame in Persian language. Self-branding is a set of marketing strategies to be used on the individual. This concept also includes a kind of attitude about the products, services, values and thoughts of the individual as a salable commodity (Marwick, 2010).
- Consumer culture
Slater Dunn (1997) acknowledges that consumer culture refers to a society in which the relationship between existing culture and social resources and the relationship between lifestyles and material and symbolic resources related to it through the behavior of marketers and most effectively mass media advertising. is set And social media influencers overshadow the sustainability elements of consumer culture by promoting and promoting them. They influence consumer consumption patterns in different product categories, including services (Berne-Manero & Marzo-Navarro, 2020).
Inclusive value creation is somehow finding a common ground between sustainability goals and values and green products. Green values, which include (green products, green usage culture, and green marketing, etc.) and the product of sustainable development, which mainly refers to individual attitudes and behaviors of sustainable development (Dumont et al, 2017). Mohammadian et al. (2013) believe that manufacturing companies, consumer society and governments are the three vertices of the triangle involved in the purchase and use of green products and
Green product is a foot product It is designed with the aim of reducing the negative effects on the environment during its life cycle. The culture of green use states that there are consumers who can contribute to sustainability by buying and using green products (environmentally friendly products). Rahbar & Wahid, 2011. In fact, consumers can contribute significantly to protecting the environment by purchasing products that are less harmful to the environment (Ranaei Kordesholi et al, 2012).
Green marketing includes a wide range of activities that are related to changes in design, production process, packaging as well as product advertising (Polonsky, 1994).

AbstractNews sites are among the mass media that have grown a lot due to the facilitation of the use of website technology. Now, due to the emergence of social media and the change in the audience's news consumption taste, news sites have lost a part of their audience. But having an editorial process and more reliability than social media has kept them as the most visited news media in the media environment. Turning news sites into news sources is one of the concerns of the managers of these sites. In this regard, the aim of the current research is to present a paradigmatic model of authority in news websites. The research method, the qualitative method of the foundation's data theory, and the data collection method were in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 16 managers, editors, and reporters of news sites and news agencies, as well as experts in the media field. The method of data analysis is open, central, and selective coding, and finally, a paradigm model of reference for news sites has been presented.Using new ways of interpreting a single event can be a competitive advantage for news sites over other news media. Audience trust includes the following categories: authenticity of news coverage, professionalism in producing and publishing news, the authenticity of the news, objectivity in relation to news publication, and transparency as the main phenomenon or central category that creates media credibility in news sites. Media credibility, including the following categories: fidelity to the elements of digital journalism in a professional manner, timeliness and neutrality of news, the art of audience analysis and persuasion, promotion of the special value of the news website brand, skill in employing a professional reporter and production and publishing correct news that is a strategy to become an authority on news sites. Behavioral tendencies of the audience include the following categories: understanding the needs of the audience and interacting with them, paying attention to the tastes of the audience, preparing special news packages for different audiences, attracting the maximum audience, the macro environment and a platform for realizing the phenomenon of news authority. The classes that shape the presented model include: the competitive environment of news sites (causal conditions), media trust (main phenomenon), increasing media credibility (strategy), attractiveness of news site design (intervening conditions), audience behavioral tendencies (context) and news authority as a (consequence) model.The findings showed that there is a significant difference between the content of news websites in terms of educational components, event level, subject matter, and news bias... considering that trust as a mechanism to reduce risk and uncertainty plays a very important role and has a role in the success and effectiveness of new media, therefore, it is of particular importance to provide a comprehensive framework and model of the factors affecting the audience's trust in news websites. Because if they are recognized, the websites in the context of e-commerce will be able to give satisfaction to their users and lead to news authority. The advantage of the present research compared to the researches presented in this field is that the presented model in this research, is a comprehensive and action-based model that has tried to pay attention to most of the effective operational components in becoming a news authority at the same time and avoiding generalization, and in this direction, it is a small step in linking theory and practice in relation to the process of becoming a news authority.The emergence and expansion of information and communication technology require us to witness a jump in quality and content in the field of new news websites, and if this point is neglected, the advantage of media competition will be lost, and this issue will be at the cost of the gradual decline of that website. The site ends. So, designers and decision-makers in this field have no right to be negligent.Suggested effective measures in the field of authority building and increasing media credibility- Improvement of UI and UX on news sites- Dissemination of secondary news about a phenomenon- Creating innovative and exclusive content for different users- Converting the audience to a user on the news site- Improving the special value of the brand of the news site- Creating a new user experience on the news site for the user
