Abstract:

Political issues have a large place in social media. Social Media have interfered in the relationship between the media and politics as a powerful factor. Social Media have come to be a determinant of agenda in political circles and traditional media rather than an environment just consuming the agenda. In the study conducted on 410 social media users, the participants are found to share their political views even if they are not a member of any political parties, Twitter users are found to be more politicalized and political content has an impact on political choices. The study, along with the research findings, is aimed at identifying the relationship between politics and social media and at defining the altering form of political communication under the influence of social media by political communication 2.0.
