The Relationship Between Social Media and Disinformation in the New Media Age

Abstract

With the transition from traditional media to new media, discussions on disinformation have increased in recent years due to intentionally or unintentionally shared false information and the issue of combating disinformation have become major items on the agenda. The integration of people with new media has led to the articulation of the concept of creating value together, transforming media from being an object to be an consumed organism that can be produced, shared, transformed and constantly renewed by everyone. By using social media tools, people have found the opportunity to share their thoughts, ideas and experiences worldwide at any moment, but at the same time, they have started to be exposed to thousands of messages whose accuracy is not clear. They have become unable to escape being victims of a bad effect due to the manipulation and black propaganda created by disinformation. The aim of this study is to contribute to the scientific literature on the manipulation and perception created by disinformation, which is an important problem of the age, by scanning the literature on the causes and consequences of false information spread through social media tools in the new media age. For this purpose, a compilation study has been presented by scanning the terms “disinformation” and “disinformation on social media”.
