We can say that a more visual culture oriented media mentality has developed and this process that started with television has gained momentum with the new media. Because of its features such as interactivity, hypertextuality, accessibility from everywhere and user-derived content production, new media and usage practices, which have become indispensable in our lives, have become preferable for users who want to keep up with fast-flowing information. As a result of our changing communication and information acquisition methods in parallel with technological developments, monitoring processes of television have also been expanded and changed in this context.
