Katılımcı siyasette medyanın etkisi her zaman önemli olmuştur. Geleneksel haber kaynakları ve online haber kaynakları politik etkililiği tetikleyerek yurttaşların politikaya katılımında önemli rol oynamıştır. Bu çalışmada medya kullanımının politik katılımdaki rolü ve etkisi politik yeterliliğin aracı değişken rolü çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Genel olarak medyanın, gerek internet yoluyla gerekse geleneksel olarak politik katılımı ve insanların kendilerini yeterli hissetmelerinin medya araçlarıyla ilgisi analiz edildi. Veri, değişik eğitim ve gelir gurubundan 300 katılımcı ile yüz yüze yapılan anket ile toplandı. Barron ve Kenny’nin aracı değişken modeli kullanılarak analiz edildi. Analiz sonucunda, medya kullanımının politik etkililikle anlamlı ilişkisi olduğu, politik etkililiğinde politik katılımla anlamlı ilişkisi olduğu ve medya kullanımının dolaylı olarak kısmi de olsa politik katılımı etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
