In this research, it is aimed to reveal the news flow of social media in times of crisis and how citizens as users benefit from these platforms. Informing the citizens, bringing the demands and complaints of the citizens to the agenda, and interaction status of the news pages on the social media in crisis situations were examined and it is aimed to determine the methods of announcing the demands of the people to the public. In the study, the posts shared by six news sites in Isparta city through the Instagram network, which is used as a news distribution channel due to the power outage during the snowfall were examined.

The posts shared by SON32, ISPARTA32, AJANS32, BOMBA32, UYAN32 and HABER32 online news sites from their Instagram accounts between February 03, 2022 and February 17, 2022 were analyzed.
