Abstract

With the widespread use
of the Internet, internet-based applications and software have developed and
diversified. As a result of this development, the internet has become more than
a unilateral information sharing network and has become a platform where people
and institutions interact and share information eachother. Social media has
emerged as a reflection of this situation. The use of social media has
increased considerably since the beginning of the 2000s. In recent years,
government agencies have become active users of social media. This study
analyzes the social media usage of ministers in Turkey on the scope of Twitter
which is a leading social media platform. In this study, a total of 8883 tweets
shared by the ministries in 2019 were examined and the purpose of the sharing
was tried to be determined.

Abstract

İnternet kullanımının
dünya genelinde yaygınlaşması ile birlikte internet tabanlı uygulama ve
yazılımları da gelişmiş ve çeşitlenmiştir. Bu gelişme neticesinde internet tek
taraflı bilgi paylaşım ağı olmaktan öteye giderek insanların ve kurumların
bilgiyi birbirleriyle etkileşimde bulunarak paylaştığı bir platform haline
gelmiştir. Sosyal medya bu durumun bir yansıması olarak ortaya çıkmıştır.
Sosyal medya kullanımı özellikle 2000’li yılların başından bu yana önemli
ölçüde yaygınlaşmıştır. Son yıllarda devlet kurumları da sosyal medyayı aktif
kullanır hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki bakanlıkların sosyal medya
kullanımlarını önde gelen bir sosyal medya platformu olan Twitter üzerinden
analiz etmektedir. Çalışmada, bakanlıkların 2019 yılında paylaştıkları toplam
8883 adet tweet incelenerek, kurumların bu tweetleri hangi amaçlarla paylaşıldığı
belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.
