This research examines the impact of mainstream media content being influenced by Twitter trends and discussions. The adaptation of Twitter’s microblogging communication characteristics to professional journalism has brought both hopes and concerns. On one hand, themes such as the democratization of communications, the breakdown of gatekeeping, and the expansion of media access are highlighted as achievements of this process. On the other hand, issues such as reality manipulation, the spread of fake news, and cultural radicalism are raised as negative consequences. In this study, semi-structured interviews with journalists were conducted to explore the factors affecting the degree of Twitterization of journalistic content and to evaluate the opportunities and challenges of this process from the interviewees’ perspectives. The research adopts a qualitative approach, and the data obtained were summarized and categorized using thematic analysis. After conducting thematic analysis based on the methods of Braun and Clarke, core themes corresponding to the main and sub-questions of the research were classified into three distinct categories: factors influencing the degree of newsroom susceptibility to Twitter trends, and the opportunities and challenges arising from this susceptibility.
