Abstract
Teknoloji ile birlikte dijital medya da gelişmiştir ve insan hayatında daha fazla yer almaya başlamıştır. Her alanda olduğu kadar iletişim alanında da önemli değişimler yaşanmaktadır. Sosyal medya platformları ile birlikte kullanıcıların içerik üretebilmeleri, yorum yapabilmeleri daha da kolaylaşmıştır. Genel ve yerel seçimler öncesi hem adayların hem de partilerin kendilerini, projelerini ve ideolojilerini seçmene anlatması kolaylaşmıştır. Diğer bir yandan seçmen, oy kullanacağı adayları daha yakından tanıma fırsatı bulmuş ve adaylara ulaşabilme imkanı kazanmıştır. Seçmen, istediği zaman paylaşımlara yorum yapabilir duruma gelmiştir ve seçim kampanyalarına olan müdahalesi artmıştır. Bu araştırmada Türkiye 2019 yerel seçimlerinde İzmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi başkan adaylarının sosyal medya kullanımları ve seçim kampanyalarında sosyal medyaya verdikleri önem ve bakış açıları incelenmiştir. Facebook, Twitter ve Instagram kullanımları ve takipçi sayıları karşılaştırılmıştır.
