İnsanlar sosyal varlıklar olarak çevrelerinde olup bitenleri öğrenmeye ve edindikleri bilgileri başkalarıyla paylaşmaya hep ihtiyaç duymuşlardır. Tarihsel süreç göz önüne alındığında mağara duvarlarına çizilen figürler, tabletler, ahşap baskılar gibi ilkel tekniklerle başlayan iletişim yöntemleri, yerini dijital teknolojilerin internet tabanlı anlık iletişimine olanak sağlayan cihazlara bırakmıştır. İnternet teknolojileri ile birlikte kullanılmaya başlanan cihazlar, alışılagelmiş tek yönlü iletişim yerine interaktif ses, sinema, metin, resim ve videoyu mobil hale getirmiştir. 1995 yılı itibari ile popüler hale gelen internet teknolojisi, medyada önemli ve tamamlayıcı bir unsur olarak toplumsal hayatta yerini almıştır. Böylece iletişim yöntemi video ve ses kayıtları ile eş zamanlı olarak gerçekleştirilebilmiştir. İnternet tabanlı iletişim yöntemlerinin yaygınlaşması, medya kuruluşlarının yapılarında da değişikliklere neden olmuştur.

Sosyal medya platformları güncel haberlerin paylaşılmasında ve takibinde önemli araçlar haline gelmişlerdir. Çalışmada, insanların haberler ve toplumdaki gelişmeler hakkında sosyal medya paylaşımlarının iletişimde nasıl bir rol oynadığı incelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Bu bağlamda, sosyal medya araçlarından düzenli olarak Facebook ve Twitter’ı kullanan kişilerin davranış biçimleri incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmada 8’i kadın, 9’u erkek olmak üzere 17 kişi ile görüşmeler yapılacaktır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme kullanılan araştırmada gönüllülük esasına dayanılarak haber alımında sosyal medyanın takibinin ve kullanımının sıklığı, sebepleri ve önemi araştırılacaktır.

Considering historical process, communication, started with primitive techniques such as figures drawn on cave walls, tablets, papyrus have left their place to devices, allowing internet-based instant communication provided by digital technologies. Devices, used with internet have made interactive audio, motion picture, text, picture, video mobile instead of conventional communication. Becoming popular as of 1995, internet has taken its place in social life as important and complementary element in media.
