By describing online tools, social media provides a channel for transmitting or sharing information with wide audiences. These media target the organization's socialization by involving human factors in an organization's procedural and existential philosophy. Investigating the research conducted on the relationship between social media and organizational communication mainly induces a one-sided and positive attitude towards these media to the audience. The dominant theoretical discourse in the organizational field is that the use of social media is necessary and developmental because influencing organizational communication helps organizations to create a space for dialogue and interpersonal communication as well as attract the participation of stakeholders.But the main point is that empirical evidence in the field of social media and organizational communication is largely dependent on the case and cannot be generalized. Therefore, in this article, with a critical reflection, while reviewing the role of social media in the socialization of the organization, the positivist view of organizational researchers towards these media has been discussed. The results of the studies show that the positive effects of social media on organizations have been magnified and, as portrayed, are not necessarily beneficial to human factors and organizations.

The media institution is created as a developmental and evolutionary institution in most countries, so that by changing the existing social structures through individual empowerment, it seeks to replace structural tools for development.

The present paper aims at analyzing TDF (Theatre for Development) within a framework of theoretical developments in development communication. TDF was the result of two paradigm shifts in development communication from the optimistic theories of “modernization school” to critical theories of “dependency school”, and was formed within the frameworks of “Another Development” and theories of “participator communication”. It gained an important place in new development and communication programs especially in Latin America. “Theatre for Development” is based on the combination of “entertainment” and “education”. Using general experiences and capacities, it utilizes theatre to encourage the community to express its concerns, problems, and possible solutions, and to educate people in the path of development. This paper is an attempt to describe and explain communication characteristics and distinctions of “Theatre for Development” using Paulo Freire’s theoretical approach towards education and Augusto Boal’s approach towards applied theatre.

Nowadays, decades after World War II, and passing the stages of reconstruction and dependency, the age of participation is started. In the meantime, the mono-directional top-to-down communication has changed into a bidirectional correlative one, so that the old-fashioned traditional model in which a limited population produced and messages and news should be changed into a model in which a vast population produces messages for a vast population. This condition, known as participatory communication, is due to the pervasive expansion of modern communication technologies in the rural areas. On the other hand, nowadays mass media, including radio, television, and magazines, applies an audience-oriented participatory strategy. This paper, using the perception of activists in rural participatory communications, including 412 managers and experts, 138 facilitators in agriculture propagations and rural centers of Women Issues all over the country, and 104 of beneficiaries of participatory plans of the province of Khoozestan, aims to verify the fact that traditional and modern media are appropriately capable of creating participatory communication within rural societies in Iran. Hence, by changing communication policies and propagation strategies, in order to include the audience and his/her active participation, the progress of moving toward the constant development of agriculture can be accelerated, and development communication can be achieved. In fact, development communication will be achieved by participatory communication in the rural society of Iran.
