Abstract

Küresel haber ajansları, anlık haber dağıtımını ve tüketimini mümkün kılarak ve bununla birlikte küresel bağlantılılık deneyimini de teşvik ederek, günümüzün değişen küresel medya ortamlarında bile yalnızca medya kuruluşları için değil, bireyler için de haber sağlayıcıları olarak hala temel bir rol oynamaktadır. Medyanın küreselleşmesi, birkaç küresel haber ajansının dünya medyasına hakim olmasına yol açtı; bu nedenle, bu kurumların etkisi siyasi sınırlara bakılmaksızın ülkeler arasında yayılabilmektedir. Arap kamuoyunu kazanmak ve Arap dünyasındaki hakimiyetlerini pekiştirmek için uluslararası yarışın bir parçası olarak, büyük küresel haber ajansları programlarını ve haberlerini Arapça dilinde sunmaya çalışmaktadırlar. Son yıllarda Arap dünyasında önemli bir bölgesel güç olan Türkiye, Arap kamuoyuyla basın aracılığıyla iletişim kurmak için bazı girişimlerde bulunmuştur, bunlardan en önemlisi Anadolu Ajansı'nın Arapça bölümüdür. Bu temelde, çalışma, Anadolu Ajansı'nın Arapça bölümünün Arap dünyasındaki medya varlığının düzeyini ve niteliğini ve Anadolu Ajansı'nın en büyük Arap medya kuruluşları için nasıl güvenilir bir haber kaynağı haline gelebildiğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bir yandan araştırmacıların Anadolu Ajansı Arapça bölümünden Arapça gazetelerin aktardığı günlük ve aylık haber sayılarına ilişkin verileri topladığı nicel bir yaklaşım benimsenmiştir; nitel analizde ise çalışma, Anadolu Ajansı Arapça bölümünün Arap dünyasındaki başarısına ve gelişimine katkıda bulunan faktörleri belirlemek için bazı anketlerin ve önceki Arapça çalışmaların analizine dayanmaktadır. Çalışma, Türkiye ile Arap dünyası arasındaki ortak kültürel, dini ve tarihi bağların Anadolu Ajansı'nın Arap coğrafyalarında ve bölgelerinde aktif varlığını büyük ölçüde kolaylaştırdığını göstermiştir.

The Impact of Anadolu Agency News as a News Source on Arab Media and Arab Public Opinion

Abstract

Global news agencies continue to play a fundamental role as news providers not only for media outlets but also for individuals by making the instant dissemination and consumption of news possible and promoting an experience of global connectedness. The globalization of the media has led to a few global news agencies dominating the world's media; thus, the influence of these agencies can spread across countries without regard to political boundaries. As part of the international race to win the Arab public opinion and consolidate their dominance in the Arab world, the big global news agencies are seeking to present their programs and news in Arabic language. In recent years, Turkey as an important regional power in the Arab world has taken some initiatives to communicate with the Arab public through the press, the most important of which is the Arabic Department of the Anadolu (News) Agency. On this basis, the study aims to examine the level and nature of the media presence of Anadolu Agency's Arabic Department in the Arab world and how Anadolu Agency can become a reliable news source for the largest Arab media outlets. In this study, on the one hand, a quantitative approach was adopted in which the researchers collected data on the daily and the monthly number of news quoted by Arabic newspapers from the Arabic Department of Anadolu Agency. On the other hand, in the qualitative analysis, the study relies on the analysis of some surveys and previous Arabic studies to identify the factors that contribute to the success and development of the Arabic Department of the Anadolu Agency in the Arab world. The study showed that the common cultural, religious, and historical ties between Turkey and the Arab world have greatly facilitated the active presence of Anadolu Agency in the Arab geographies and the regions.
