AB  - This research focuses on the issue of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in journalism and its implications for the digital media ecosystem. AI has become an indispensable asset in contemporary journalism as digital paradigms shift the processes of news production, distribution, and consumption. This article aims to address the manner in which media companies apply AI, including Natural Language Processing (NLP), deep learning, and recommendation algorithms, to improve productivity and expand audience size. It also explores the growing significance of AI in data-driven journalism, where vast amounts of data are processed to discover patterns and validate investigative stories. Through case studies and analysis of current trends, this research emphasizes the importance of maintaining human oversight in journalistic workflows. It argues that while AI can augment journalism, it must be guided by professional standards, ethical principles, and a commitment to public interest.Ultimately, this study contributes to ongoing discussions about the future of journalism in a digital society. It calls for balanced integration of AI in newsrooms' policy by leveraging its capabilities without compromising journalistic integrity, credibility, and democratic values.

N2  - Bu çalışma, Yapay Zekâ’nın (YZ) değişen yeni medya ortamında gazetecilik içeriğini nasıl dönüştürdüğünü incelemektedir. Dijital teknolojiler haberin üretilme, dağıtılma ve tüketilme biçimlerini yeniden tanımlarken, YZ modern gazetecilikte kritik bir araç olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Otomatik haber yazımı ve veri analitiğinden, kişiselleştirilmiş içerik sunumu ve izleyici etkileşimine kadar birçok alanda YZ, haber odası pratiklerini ve editoryal karar alma süreçlerini yeniden şekillendirmektedir.Makale, medya kuruluşlarının doğal dil üretimi, makine öğrenimi ve algoritmik öneri sistemleri gibi YZ araçlarını nasıl kullandığını inceleyerek, verimliliği ve izleyici erişimini artırma çabalarını ele almaktadır. Ayrıca, büyük veri kümelerinin işlenerek eğilimlerin ortaya çıkarıldığı ve araştırmacı gazeteciliğe katkı sağladığı veri gazeteciliğinde YZ’nin artan rolüne dikkat çekilmektedir. Hız, ölçeklenebilirlik ve kişiselleştirme gibi avantajlara rağmen, çalışmada algoritmik önyargılar, editoryal şeffaflığın azalması ve YZ üretimi içeriklerin özgünlüğüne dair etik kaygılar gibi olası sakıncalar da değerlendirilmektedir. Vaka analizleri ve güncel eğilimler ışığında bu araştırma, gazetecilik süreçlerinde insan denetiminin sürdürülmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma dijital toplumda gazeteciliğin geleceğine dair devam eden tartışmalara katkı sunmakta; YZ’nin yeteneklerinden yararlanırken gazetecilik etiği, güvenilirlik ve demokratik değerlerden ödün verilmemesi gerektiğini savunmaktadır.
