Video temelli bir platform olan YouTube, bu bağlamda alternatif bir haber kaynağı olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma, YouTube’un haber kaynağı olarak konumunu ve habercilikte üstlendiği işlevi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden içerik analizi kullanılmakta; YouTube’daki en çok izlenmeye sahip, haber kanalları karşılaştırmalı biçimde ele alınmaktadır: İki bağımsız/bireysel (Cüneyt Özdemir, Nevşin Mengü) ile iki kurumsal kanalın (Haber Global, CNN Türk), Temmuz 2025 tarihi itibarıyla, popüler (en çok izlenen) beşer videosu olmak üzere toplam yirmi haber videosu incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulguları, YouTube’un yalnızca bir dijital yayın ortamı değil, aynı zamanda habercilik anlayışının yeniden biçimlendiği bir iletişim ekosistemi olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Etkileşim oranlarının incelenmesi, izleyiciyle kurulan ilişkinin niteliğini ve haberin dolaşımına katkısını gösterirken, söylem ve sunum farklılıkları kanalların habercilik pratiklerindeki çeşitliliği gözler önüne sermektedir. Bu yönüyle araştırma, dijital haberciliğin dönüşümünü anlamak için özgün bir analitik zemin sunmakta; YouTube’un haber üretim ve sunum süreçlerinde üstlendiği rolü ortaya koyarak yeni medyanın habercilik pratikleri üzerindeki etkilerini inceleyen akademik literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır.</p></abstract>

                            <p>The rapid development of communication technologies has affected all stages from the production to the consumption of news and has reshaped journalistic practices. As a video-based platform, YouTube stands out as an alternative news source in this context. This study aims to examine YouTube’s position as a news source and the function it assumes in journalism. In the research, content analysis—one of the qualitative research methods—is employed; the news channels on YouTube with the highest number of views are addressed comparatively: two independent/individual (Cüneyt Özdemir, Nevşin Mengü) and two institutional channels (Haber Global, CNN Türk). As of July 2025, a total of twenty news videos were examined, consisting of five popular (most-viewed) videos from each channel. The findings reveal that YouTube is not only a digital broadcasting environment but also a communication ecosystem in which the understanding of journalism is being reshaped. While the examination of engagement rates shows the nature of the relationship established with the audience and its contribution to the circulation of news, differences in discourse and presentation bring to light the diversity in the channels’ journalistic practices. In this respect, the research provides an original analytical basis for understanding the transformation of digital journalism; by revealing the role that YouTube assumes in news production and presentation processes, it makes an important contribution to the academic literature that examines the effects of new media on journalistic practices..</p></trans-abstract>
