                            <p>Digital platforms are entities that operate through digital spaces and mainly occur as social media companies that have positioned themselves in various markets. Digital platforms began their journey as social media sites that enable users to create social network connections with the help of profiles. The programmability of social media sites has evolved them into platforms, and this notion of programmability changed the overall structure of the web. Digital platforms generate revenue through user interactions; in return, content producers also help them generate revenue. Journalism has been deeply affected by the platformization of news, and digital spaces have also changed traditional journalistic practices. Under the platform capitalism, digital spaces curate individuals’ life styles and how they perceive, react, and see things. In return, journalism as an ethical practice transformed itself due to the new odes of communication and commercialization. The rise of digital journalism has paved the way for new modes of sharing and producing news, and this can easily be termed as producing content. The production of news became highly dominated by the mechanisms that govern platform logic. Platform logic can be detected in the datafication, commodification, commercialization, and consumption that have affected the role of journalists in society. The rise of digital platforms, especially social media platforms such as Instagram, has transformed not just journalism itself but also journalism as a profession. The ethical and professional principles of journalism have been eroded, with journalists having begun to be seen as influencing people and their starting to act with the logic of digital platforms. The corporate umbrella that protected journalists has been replaced by the principles of platform capitalism. The aim of this paper is to examine the precarization of journalism as a profession under the dominant power of digital platforms.</p></trans-abstract>

Bu şirketler, kullanıcıların profilleri aracılığıyla sosyal ağ bağlantıları kurmalarını sağlayan sosyal medya siteleri olarak iş hayatına başlamıştır. Sosyal medya sitelerinin programlanabilirliği onları platformlara dönüştürmüştür. Programlanabilirlik kavramı ise internet ağlarının genel yapısını değiştirmiştir. Dĳital platformlar, kullanıcıların etkileşimlerinden gelir elde ederken, karşılığında içerik üreticilerinin de gelir elde etmelerine yardımcı olmaktadırlar. Gazetecilik, haberlerin bu şekilde platformlaştırılmasından derinden etkilenmiştir. Dĳital alanlar, geleneksel gazetecilik pratiklerini değiştirmektedir. Platform kapitalizmi altında, dĳital alanlar bireylerin yaşam tarzlarının, olayları nasıl algıladıklarının, bunlara nasıl tepki verdiklerinin ve bunları nasıl gördüklerinin küratörlüğünü yapmaktadır. Buna karşılık, etik bir pratik olarak gazetecilik, yeni iletişim biçimleri ve ticarileşme nedeniyle kendini dönüştürmektedir. Dĳital haberciliğin yükselişi, “içerik üretmek” olarak adlandırılabilecek yeni haber paylaşım ve üretim biçimlerinin yolunu açmıştır. Haber üretimi, artık platform mantığını yöneten mekanizmaların egemenliğine girmiştir. Platform mantığı, gazetecinin toplumdaki rolünü genel olarak etkileyen verileştirme, metalaştırma, ticarileştirme ve tüketim mekanizmalarında yatmaktadır. Dĳital platformların ön plana çıkması, özellikle Instagram gibi sosyal medya platformlarının başat konuma gelmesi, haberciliği ve bir meslek olarak gazeteciliği dönüşüme uğratmıştır. Gazeteciliğin etik ve mesleki ilkeleri aşınmış, gazetecilik influencerlık (etkileyiciler/fenomenler) olarak görülmeye başlanmış ve gazetecilik dĳital platform mantığında işleyen bir yapıya evrilme sürecine girmiştir. Gazetecileri koruyan kurumsal şemsiye yerini platform kapitalizminin ilkelerine bırakmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı dĳital platformların baskın gücü altında kalan gazetecilik mesleğinin prekaryalaşmasını incelemektir.</p></abstract>
