                            <p>Günümüzde 1.1 milyardan fazla aktif kullanıcısı olan TikTok, siyasi kuruluşların iletişim stratejileri doğrultusunda kullandığı bir platform haline gelmiştir. 1945 yılında kurulan ve en etkin uluslararası siyasi oluşumlar arasında yer alan Birleşmiş Milletler (BM) de, Covid-19 pandemisiyle birlikte 2020 yılında TikTok’ta resmi bir hesap açmıştır. Literatür incelendiğinde, BM’nin sosyal medyadaki iletişim stratejilerini ele alan çalışmaların sınırlı olduğu, BM&#039;nin TikTok&#039;taki iletişim stratejilerini analiz eden akademik çalışmaların ise bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, BM’nin TikTok&#039;taki iletişim stratejilerini inceleyerek, TikTok&#039;un küresel iletişimdeki rolüne dair mevcut literatüre katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, BM’nin TikTok hesabında 31 Mart 2020 ile 26 Ekim 2024 tarihleri arasında yayımlanan 287 paylaşım, içerik analizi tekniği ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, BM’nin TikTok paylaşımlarında yoğun bir şekilde altyazı, açıklama, müzik ve hashtag gibi unsurları kullanarak etkili bir dijital iletişim stratejisi geliştirdiği ve bu strateji aracılığıyla geniş bir kitleye ulaşarak takipçilerle etkileşim sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, BM’nin farklı video türleri ve çeşitli duygusal tonlar kullanarak takipçilerine etkili mesajlar iletmeye çalıştığı saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, BM’nin TikTok&#039;ta dezavantajlı bireylerin ihtiyaçlarını yeterince dikkate almadığı, videolarda belirli gruplara yönelik temsilde dengesizliklerin bulunduğu ve çok dillilik ilkesinin yeterince uygulanmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak, BM’nin TikTok içeriklerinde dünya siyaseti açısından ayrımcı bir tutum sergilediği ve bu tutumun içeriklerde belirgin bir şekilde görüldüğü belirlenmiştir.</p></trans-abstract>

The United Nations (UN), established in 1945 as a quintessential international political institution, inaugurated an official TikTok account in 2020 in response to the exigencies imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. An examination of the extant literature reveals a marked paucity of scholarly inquiries critically evaluating the UN&#039;s social media communication strategies, particularly a notable dearth of analyses specifically addressing the UN&#039;s strategic engagements on TikTok. This study aspires to augment the existing corpus of literature concerning TikTok&#039;s role in global communication by scrutinizing the UN&#039;s communication strategies on this platform. The research entails a content analysis of 287 posts disseminated via the UN&#039;s TikTok account from March 31, 2020, to October 26, 2024. The findings elucidate that the UN has adeptly constructed a digital communication strategy characterized by the extensive integration of elements, including subtitles, captions, music, and hashtag within its TikTok posts. Moreover, the analysis indicates that the UN endeavors to transmit salient messages to its audience through a diverse array of audiovisual formats and affective tonalities. However, it is also observed that the UN inadequately addresses the exigencies of marginalized populations on TikTok, manifesting disparities in representational equity for specific demographic cohorts and exhibiting insufficient adherence to the principle of multilingualism. Finally, the UN was found to have a clear bias in its TikTok content regarding global political issues, a stance evident in the framing of the content.</p></abstract>
