Bilim iletişimi, bilimin toplumla çeşitli yollarla bağlantısı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yazılı basın ve medya araçları bilim iletişimini güçlendirmede katkı sunabilir. Araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de yayınlanan günlük basılı gazetelerdeki bilim ve teknoloji haberlerine ne kadar ve nasıl yer verildiğinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmada incelenmek üzere 28.08.2019-21.09.2019 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’de yayınlanan üç gazete (Hürriyet, Sabah ve Posta) seçilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında incelenen gazetelerin, Türkiye’de ve Dünya’da geçen olaylara konu olmuş bilim ve teknoloji haberlerine hangi sıklıkla yer verdikleri, en sık hangi tür bilim haberlerine yer verdikleri, sosyo-bilimsel içeriklerin ne şekilde sunulduğu incelenmiştir. Araştırmada içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır ve tespit edilen haberler kategoriler halinde sunulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda, gazetelerde bilim ve teknoloji haberlerine çok az yer verildiği genellikle son sayfalarda küçük sütunlarda sunulduğu görülmüştür. Teknoloji haberleri ise nispeten iç sayfalarda daha (bilim haberlerine göre) büyük bölümlerinde yer verildiği görülmüştür. Gazetelerin bilimsel içerikleri ve sosyo bilimsel konuların topluma sunulmasında önemli bir araç olduğu ancak yapılan tasvirlerin belirli kalıplarda olduğu görülmüştür.

Newspapers in Science Communication: A Content Analysis on Science and Technology News

Öz

Science communication describes the connection between science and society in various ways. Written media and media tools contribute to strengthening science communication. The aim of this research was to examine the science and technology news in daily newspapers published in Turkey. Three newspapers in Turkey (Hürriyet, Sabah, and Posta), and their publications between August 28th and September 21st, 2019, were selected in this study. Some reviews have been made into how often these newspapers include science and technology events occurring in Turkey and around the world, what type of scientific news there is, and in what way the socio-scientific contents are presented in newspapers. The content analysis method was used in the study and the news items were presented in categories. As a result of the research, it was observed that science and technology news is given little space in these newspapers and is generally presented in the small columns on the last pages. It was seen that newspapers are an important tool in presenting scientific content and socio-scientific issues to society, but these depictions made are in certain patterns.
