Popis: Internet-based technologies, which mark a revolutionary period in journalism, have revealed new understandings in journalism. This change in the news media has affected the established forms of production and consumption, and has transformed traditional relations and understandings. Expanding information distribution capacities and reader expectations growing, differentiating and specializing necessitate using new communication technologies more effectively. Social media platforms and online environments, which provide additional channels to reach the reader, both open new areas for news producers and reveal different usage patterns from traditional media for consumers. The study investigates the trends in news production, distribution, and consumption in different social media platforms as an alternative field. In the study, Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram platforms were discussed, and content production, distribution, and consumption styles were examined in the context of journalism, based on the assumption that Telegram is an alternative channel for creating public opinion, increasing interaction and creating their brands for journalists. In this context, Twitter, which functions more as a news sharing application, Instagram, which has increased in popularity in recent years, and Telegram, which stands out with its bot and channel creation features, are evaluated. The shares on the Cia Medya Telegram channel, Cia Haber Instagram page and Cia Haber Twitter page, which constitute the sample of the research, were analyzed by content analysis method, and it was concluded that the Telegram platform is used more actively in content production, distribution and interaction.
