Büyük Veri ve Gazetecilik İlişkisi Bağlamında Veri Gazeteciliği

Abstract

Büyük veri iletişim disiplini genelinde gazetecilik özelinde etkili olan toplumsal, kültürel, ekonomik ve teknolojik bir fenomen olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Verideki artış, çağdaş gazeteciliğin haber rutinlerinde de değişime neden olmuş, yeni ve etkili bir anlatı türü olarak veri gazeteciliği yaygınlık kazanmaya başlamıştır. Bu araştırmada alana ilişkin literatürün kapsamlı bir taraması ile durum tespiti yapılmasının yanı sıra yeniliklerin yayılımı kuramı bağlamında #datajournalism etiketi ile paylaşılan tweetler gönderildikleri ülkelere, konularına ve bu etiket altında paylaşılan veri gazeteciliği türlerinin temalarına göre kategorileştirilerek içerik analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda yeniliklerin yayılımında coğrafyanın etkisi kısmen doğrulanmış, Twitter’ın veri gazeteciliği ile ilgili teknolojileri dolaşıma sokup yaygınlaştıran bir araç olduğu bulgulanmıştır.
