(Galatasaray Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, 2014) Yanardağoğlu, Eylem; New Media; 04. Faculty of Communication; 01. Kadir Has University
In the last decade, Turkey’s appeal for international news organizations has risen dramatically. In 1991, there were 85 accredited foreign reporters based in Turkey, the number was recorded as 145 in 2000, 200 in 2005. At the end of 2013, there were 317 accredited members of the foreign media, working for 284 different media organizations. This study accounts for the noticeable increase in the number of foreign correspondents in Turkey. By analyzing data collected via 20 in-depth interviews and online questionnaires, it offers insight on the personal and professional characteristics and practices of foreign journalists covering Turkey. The findings suggest that correspondents “feel responsible” for explaining the complexities in Turkey for their audiences, highlighting the dilemmas between the “desk” and the “field”. They also indicate that Istanbul as an emerging global city does in its own right attracts new media connections.

Tunisia has been considered where Arab Spring started but it has not internet users as much as most of Middle East and European countries. Therefore regarding to numbers how it is possible to make strong connection between social media and uprisings. On 17 December 2010 Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire and started uprisings in North Africa and Middle East. By this incident suppressed people of nations found opportunities to be union and rebel against their regimes. These uprisings created domino effects and spread to the other nations one by one in Egypt Libya and Yemen.

At that point study of Katz and Lazarsfeld (1955) about limited effects of media and importance of opinion leaders are important to evaluate the situation during uprisings. When uprising started in Tunisia participation of rural people and people without internet show that Arab Spring is merely more than effects of social media platforms (Mabrouk 201 1).

(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2014) Bayrak, Ayça; Yanardağoğlu, Eylem; New Media; 04. Faculty of Communication; 01. Kadir Has University
Technology and the individual have a reciprocal and transformative relation and the area, which is affected by this relation, is more sophisticated than the idea that technology is shaping the society. To understand the sophistication of the relation between technology and the society; historical, cultural, economic and sociologic dimensions should be considered rather than "techno-deterministic" descriptions for the topic. In order to express the developments in the area of media; the concept "new media", of which its definition and its specifications are still debated for its aspects such as interactivity and empowering the democracy, should be considered in a critical way. The museums are an important part of the cultural life; and the restructuring of the museums in parallel to technological developments should be evaluated in the axis of "New Museology" with the above critical perspective. In this research, it is aimed to understand the effects and the contributions of the "New Media" tools to the user experience in "New Museums", where the main focal point is shifted from the exhibited objects to the visitors. For this, the case study of the Istanbul Museum of Modern Art was examined; a survey about the awareness and the use of "New Media" tools among the visitors of the museum was done. The "New Media" tools in Istanbul Museum of Modern Art have been reevaluated in the axis of "New Museology" according to the visitor surveys.

(2023) Büyükyılmaz, Ahmet Berk; Yanardağoğlu, Eylem; New Media; 04. Faculty of Communication; 01. Kadir Has University
Reddit, kullanıcıların ilgi alanlarına göre topluluklara girdiği çevrimiçi bir sosyal medya platformudur. Bu topluluklara, kullanıcıların diğer kullanıcıların gönderilerini sıralayabildiği subreddit'ler denir. Bu subreddit'lerde kullanıcılar ortak ilgi alanlarına giren konuları da tartışabilirler. Platformun tartışmalara olanak sağlayan altyapısı sayesinde birçok hayran grubu söylemleri için platformu kullanmaya başladı. Bu hayran gruplarından biri olan Shingeki no Kyojin adlı manga serisinin fan grubu, r/shingekinokyojin ve r/titanfolk adlı iki subreddit'e sahiptir. Manganın 2021'de tamamlanmasından bu yana, bu iki subreddit, birbirlerinin sosyal ve kültürel sermayesini baltalayarak hangi grubun 'üstün hayran kitlesi' olduğu konusunda sürekli bir tartışma içindeydi. Bu çalışma, iki farklı subreddit arasındaki fandom ve katılım bağlamındaki tartışmalardaki tematik örüntüleri hiyerarşik yapının inşasıyla bağlantılı olarak incelemektedir. Gönderilerden ve yorumlardan anlam çıkarmak için bu çalışmada tematik bir analiz kullanılmıştır. Bu iki grup arasındaki hiyerarşik yapının temellerini anlamak için her bir subreddit'ten diğer subreddit hakkında en yüksek puan alan 3 gönderi seçilmiş ve bu gönderilerin yorumları incelenmiştir. Analiz, Reddit'in kullanıcı odaklı işleyiş sisteminin ve ilgilenilen nesnenin bilgisi üzerine oluşturulan kültürel sermayenin hiyerarşik yapıların inşası üzerindeki önemine işaret etmiştir.
