                            <p>The Knowledge Gap Hypothesis, which emerged in  1970 explains the failure of the mass media to equally  inform every segment of the society mainly through on  the written press. Later studies have revealed that the  Radio is also open the gap, but there have been very  few studies that have come to the conclusion that television has caused knowledge gap through segments  of the society. Although the first studies revealed that  the Internet  news sites, social media, etc.  and new  communication technologies have increased the information-news-knowledge gaps recent studies have  found that the Internet and new communication technologies have reduced these gaps. This study includes  the Knowledge Gap Hypothesis and the work done in  this regard. As a result of the studies that have been  conducted, studies conducted especially in recent years  have reached to the result that New Media has been  reducing the gaps through segments of the society. On  the other hand, the knowledge gaps continue to exist  according to the subject, time, and media among the  segments of society</p></trans-abstract>

Daha sonra yapılan çalışmalarda radyonun da bilgi açığı  oluşturduğu ortaya çıkmış ancak televizyonun toplum  kesimleri arasında bilgi açığı oluşturduğu sonucuna  ulaşan çok az sayıda araştırma olmuştur. Yapılan ilk  çalışmalar İnternet  haber siteleri, sosyal medya vb.  ve  yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin bilgi-haber açığını artırdığını  ortaya koysa da son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalar İnternet  ve yeni iletişim teknolojilerinin bilgi-haber açığını  azalttığı sonucuna ulaşmışlardır. Bu çalışmada Bilgi Açığı  Hipotezi ve bu konuda yapılan çalışmalara yer verilmiştir.  İncelenen çalışmalar neticesinde özellikle son yıllarda  yapılan çalışmalarda Yeni Medyanın toplum kesimleri  arasında bilgi-haber açığını azalttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.  Öte yandan toplum kesimleri arasında bilgi açığı medya,  konu ve zamana göre varlığını devam ettirmektedir.</p></abstract>
