Yeni Medya Çağında Haberleri Yeniden Düşünmek: Teknoloji İle İçeriğin Kesişmesi ve Yenilikçi Davranışlar

Abstract

In the technological sense, particularly in computer technology, the field of journalism has undergone a great transformation in the last 20 years. As paper-based journalism gradually declined, the field of journalism has shifted to digital platforms. While News Centers are trying new ways to create a better journalistic experience for readers, this new area where technology and content intersect, the need for the autonomy, the working culture, the management, the technology and the innovative individuals of the news rooms is important for the emergence of innovative behaviors. On this study we aimed to discuss innovative behaviors in news centers in Turkey and to identify the transformation that internet media professionals have made in their news production practices. For this purpose, we conducted an in-depth interview with internet media employees in Turkey as a data collection technique for testing the problematic of the study. With these interviews, we revealed what innovative behaviors are in the journalism sector. We also attempted to identify trends in newsroom work routines and technology context in online news centers. In the study it was found out that the technology has an important role in the transformation of news writing format and the work cultures in the newsrooms are carried out by the individuals who are innovative.
