This study examines the effect of algorithmic ranking, personalization, content recommendation, and moderation of news content on the perception of international news. It examines the role of digital media not only in the dissemination of news but also in the shaping of the visibility of news, the marginalization of news, and the emotional responses of the audience towards the news. Based on the platform studies literature and case study analysis, this study reveals that the technical infrastructures of digital platforms simultaneously influence journalistic and user practices and produce a new media regime. This study argues that the visibility of news is not arbitrary but rather follows the logics of the attention economy, aestheticization, and repetition. This process can lead to the normalization of international news in the daily digital stream, overexposure and emotional fatigue of the audience, and cognitive distance between the audience and international events.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Dijital platformlar, uluslararası içeriklerin üretimi, dolaşımı ve kullanıcıya ulaşma biçimlerini dönüştürerek yalnızca dağıtım kanalları olarak kalmayıp, haber anlatılarının görünürlüğünü aktif şekilde yapılandıran bilgi aracıları hâline gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, platformların algoritmik sıralama, kişiselleştirme, içerik öneri sistemleri ve moderasyon politikalarının uluslararası haberlerin algılanma biçimleri üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Çalışmada, dijital medyanın yalnızca haberin iletiminde değil; hangi anlatıların görünür kılındığı, hangilerinin arka plana itildiği ve bu süreçlerin kullanıcıda duygusal tepkiler ve algısal mesafe oluşturduğu analiz edilmektedir. Platform araştırmaları literatürü ile örnek vaka incelemesi temelinde yürütülen çalışma, dijital platformların teknik altyapılarının gazetecilik pratikleri ve kullanıcı davranışlarını eş zamanlı olarak şekillendirdiğini ve bu etkileşim sonucunda yeni bir medya rejiminin ortaya çıktığını ortaya koymaktadır. Analiz, haber görünürlüğünün rastlantısal olmadığını; etkileşim ekonomisi, estetikleştirme pratikleri ve tekrar mekanizmaları doğrultusunda yapılandırıldığını göstermektedir. Bu süreç, uluslararası haberlerin gündelik dijital akış içinde sıradanlaşmasına, aşırı maruziyet yoluyla duygusal yorgunluk üretmesine ve kullanıcı ile uluslararası olaylar arasında bilişsel bir mesafenin oluşmasına zemin hazırlamaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
