Yeni medya platformları ve teknolojileri günümüz sıradan kitlelerini içeriği hem üreten hem de tüketen kullanıcılara dönüştürmüştür. Yangınlar sonrasında sosyal medyanın çeşitli platformlarında doğrulanmamış çok sayıda bilgi ve görsel içerik üretilmiş ve bir çok kişi tarafından paylaşılarak sürekli  dolaşıma sokulmuştur. Bu çalışmada 29 Temmuz – 11 Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’de çıkan yangınlarla ilgili sosyal medyada dolaşıma sokulan ve Teyit.org tarafından yalan/yanlış haber olduğu tespit edilen toplam 25 haber incelenmiştir. Veriler, doküman inceleme yöntemiyle toplanmış ve betimsel analiz ile irdelenmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, en çok kullanılan dezenformasyon türü hatalı ilişkilendirme ve çarpıtmadır. Çalışmada dikkat çeken bir diğer husus da Teyit.org tarafından paylaşımları yaptığı tespit edilen hesapların büyük çoğunluğunun gerçek isim kullanmayan anonim hesaplardan yapılan paylaşımlar olmasıdır. Sosyal medyadaki bu dezenformasyona karşı medya okuryazarlığı çok büyük önem taşımaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>On July 28, 2021, the Republic of Turkey faced the biggest forest fire in its history. New media platforms and technologies have transformed today&#039;s ordinary audiences into users who both produce and consume content. After the fires, a large number of unverified information and visual content was produced on various platforms of social media and shared by many people and constantly circulated.In this study, a total of 25 news about the fires in Turkey, which were circulated on social media between 29 July and 11 August 2021, and which were determined to be false news/disenformation by Teyit.org, were examined. The data were collected by document analysis method and analyzed with descriptive analysis. According to the results of the research, the most commonly used type of disinformation is false association and distortion. Another point that draws attention in the study is that the majority of the accounts found to be shared by Teyit.org are from anonymous accounts that do not use real names. Media literacy is of great importance against this disinformation in social media.</p></trans-abstract>
