Bu çalışma bilim gazeteciliğinin günümüzdeki
işleyişine odaklanarak, Türkiye medyasındaki bilim içerikli haberlerin durumunu
ve sorunlarını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmamız,
bilimin toplumdaki işlevine dikkat çekmekte ve bilimsel bilginin demokratikleşme
süreçlerine sunacağı katkılar ile yanlış kullanımıyla oluşacak olası zararlara
değinmektedir. Ardından bilim gazeteciliğine ilişkin farklı yaklaşımlar
sunularak bilim gazeteciliği tanımlanmakta ve bilim gazeteciliğinin sorunlarını
irdelemektedir. Çalışmamız Türkiye’deki bilim gazeteciliğinin durumunu
Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Milliyet, Sabah ve Sözcü gazetelerinin bilim haberlerini
analiz ederek ortaya koymaya çalışmıştır. Çalışmamızın örneklemi, 20 Ocak-03
Şubat 2018 tarihleri arasını kapsamaktadır. Çalışmada içerik analizi tekniği
kullanılarak örneklemdeki gazetelerin 15 günlük süreçte yayınladıkları bilim
içerikli haberleri, 5 ana ve 42 alt kategori altında analiz edilmiştir.
Türkiye’de bilim haberlerinin gazetelerde yeterince yer alamadığı, mevcut bilim
haberlerinin ise sağlık/tıp, doğa, teknoloji, arkeoloji gibi popüler ve pozitif
bilimler ağırlıklı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Bilim gazeteciliği, bilim iletişimi, Türkiye’de bilim gazeteciliği, içerik analizi, bilimin ticarileşmesi
