Pandemi Döneminin Ana Haber Bültenlerindeki İzleyici Katılımı Üzerindeki Rolü: FOX TV Örneği

Makalemiz dünyayı kısa sürede etkisi altına alan pandemi döneminin televizyon ana haber bültenlerindeki izleyici katılımı üzerindeki rolünü geri bildirim kapsamında incelemektedir. Pandemi döneminde ortaya çıkan belirsizlik durumu ve artan bilgi alma ihtiyacı, televizyon ana haber bültenlerinde izleyici katılımının etkilenmesine neden olmuştur. Geleneksel medya aracı olarak televizyon ana haber bültenleri ortaya çıkan belirsizlik ve bilgi ihtiyacını karşılamak adına sosyal medya araçları ile entegre olarak değişime uğramıştır. Pandemi dönemi ile birlikte ortaya çıkan bu bilgi ihtiyacını karşılamak adına televizyon ana haber bültenlerinin sürelerinde ve izleyici katılımında artış yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı pandemi döneminde sosyal medya araçlarından Twitter ile izleyici katılımının pandemi dönemi öncesine oranla değişimini geri bildirim çerçevesinde ortaya koyarak, televizyon ana haber bültenleri ile izleyici katılımı üzerindeki etkisini Fox TV örneği üzerinden saptamaktır. Geleneksel medya kanalları içinde izleyici katılımına aktif bir şekilde yer veren “Fatih Portakal ile Fox Ana haberin” incelendiği bu çalışmada, pandeminin izleyici katılımı üzerindeki etkisinin salgın öncesi ve dönemi kapsamında incelenmesi bu makalenin amacını oluşturmaktadır. Şubat ve Nisan 2020 tarihleri aralığında her iki ayda hafta içi yer alan ilk yayın günü incelenmiştir. Geri bildirim yaklaşımı çerçevesinde pandeminin bülten ile izleyici katılımı üzerindeki rolü içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda Fatih Portakal ile Fox Ana Haber bültenlerinde, pandemi öncesine göre yayın süresinin uzadığı ve bununla birlikte izleyici katılımına daha fazla yer verildiği ayrıca izleyicilerin, oluşturulan tabelalara daha fazla geri bildirim göndererek çift yönlü iletişim kapsamında izleyici katılımının belirsizlik durumlarında daha fazla artış göstermiş olduğu saptanmıştır.
