Abstract:

In the approximately two-century adventure of modernization, technological developments have changed human perceptions, and have given a great importance to the eye and, therefore, to the image. From the 19th century, with the public’s divorce to the audience; seeing, taking action has passed. The person who has lost his activity has become a viewing person. Based on Jean Baudrillard’s theory, news, which is the means of acquiring information, is built into a new reality without reality, as hyper-reality in television studios. An example of this is also seen in the news presented with augmented reality applications in the studio environment. The question discussed here by the Baudrillard’s thesis, “Suret is no longer a copy of the truth, but the truth itself,” is whether the news focused on the reflection of the biastic truth, which is expected to influence political decisions, will be able to meet the right to obtain information, which is the expression of the democratic rights and demands of the public, by a presentation prepared and “played” in augmented reality studios? Therefore, the study focused on the analysis of the “reproduced” war/conflict news with augmented reality applications on television. When literary scans are performed in terms of augmented reality practices, they identify the overall track of the studies and make the contribution of the application to many sectors. Unlike the general studies, this study is based on the assumption that technological applications in augmented reality’t find a speech in every field, and it is based on the presentation of war/conflict news in television studios. In this minval, the influence of increased reality practices in the audience can be questioned by making deep interviews with journalists specializing in conflict/war journalism, a reader representative, a news server and two academics who have witnessed the war environments.
