Egemen Söylemin Kıyısındakiler: Alternatif Bir Platform Olarak YouTube’da Gazetecilik ve Gazeteciler Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

The media is one of the many institutions where strong powers started a war against it. Controlling and keeping the media under control is to narrow the living spaces of the contrary or marginal discourses. For this reason, media institutions are under the control of governments, or they are tried to be controlled.

“…betimlendiği ya da Cüneyt Özdemir'in yaptığı gazetecilik pratiğinin editoryal bağımsızlık referansıyla 'serbest gazetecilik' olarak tanımlandığı ve haber içeriklerinin niceliksel değerlendirilmeye tabi tutularak tanımlanmaya çalışıldığı görülmektedir (Bulut, 2020;Baloğlu ve Demir, 2019). Uluslararası çalışmalara bakıldığında ise dijital gazeteciliğin bir "ambiyans"/ortam gazeteciliği olarak tanımlandığı görülmektedir.…”
