Özet

Bu makale, genelde teorik bağlamda olmak üzere, demokrasi, medya ve siyaset ile ilgili tartışmalara yoğunlaşmaktadır. Demokrasi, medya ve siyaset ve medyanın demokrasi ile ilişkisine dair yaklaşımlara ait genel bir değerlendirme sunduktan sonra, çalışma, bu ilişkinin genel görünümünü ve demokratik gelişimde medyanın nasıl işlemesi gerektiğini göstermeye çalışmaktadır. Makalenin sonunda, yine daha net bir bakış açısına sahip olmak için, haber hikayelerinin üretilmesi süreci; gündem oluşturma, kamuoyu yaratma ve siyasal yaklaşım inşa etme unsur olması açısından ele alınmaktadır. Burada, özellikle medya ve demokrasi arasındaki ilişki, medya kanallarının demokrasinin daha iyi bir biçimde işlemesi için sahip oldukları öneme vurgu yapmak için irdelenmiştir. Sosyal konsensüs ve gündem oluşturmanın temel aktörleri olması açısından basın ve politika arasındaki bağ incelenirken, medyanın, kurumsal ve dış faktörlerin de etkisiyle kamuoyu ve ideoloji oluşturmadaki rolü tartışılmış, böylece Türkiye’deki medya ve demokrasi tartışmaları daha detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve siyaset ile ilişkisi değerlendirilmiştir.
