According to the Journalists Union of Turkey, 145 journalists and media workers are in prison as of February 2018. In the decades that press freedom was monitored in Turkey, the suppression of press and violations of the free expression rights under the regime of Recep Tayyip Erdogan is unprecedented.

  • “Freedom” of the Press in Turkey: Journalist Imprisonments During the Last Decade, 2002-2012
    “FREEDOM” OF THE PRESS IN TURKEY: JOURNALIST IMPRISONMENTS DURING THE LAST DECADE, 2002-2012 By Duygu Kanver A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Journalism – Master of Arts 2013 ABSTRACT “FREEDOM” OF THE PRESS IN TURKEY: JOURNALIST IMPRISONMENTS DURING THE LAST DECADE, 2002-2012 By Duygu Kanver The noticeable increase in the number of imprisoned journalists in the past three years drew national and international attention to the problems of press freedom in Turkey. Arrests of distinguished reporters of Turkey’s mainstream media, along with the ongoing limitations on the freedom of Kurdish and socialist press, caused the country to be referred as “the world’s biggest prison for journalists” by the non-governmental press freedom organizations such as Reporters Without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists. Statements of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government authorities claiming that the imprisoned journalists are “not journalists but terrorists,” and their reluctance to amend the laws that cause hundreds of journalists to be jailed led to questioning the influence of politics on journalist imprisonments. This study explores the problems of press freedom with a focus on imprisoned journalists. Based upon in-depth interviews with journalists who were behind bars in the last decade, this study aims to answer the questions of what has changed in terms of freedom of expression in the last decade under AKP rule, for what obvious and underlying reasons the journalists are imprisoned, whether censorship has been a part of the problems of press freedom in the last decade, and how limitations on the freedom of expression affect the public.

  • Reporting What's Going on at the Neighbors from A
    Türkiye İletişim Araştırmaları Dergisi • Yıl/Year: 2021 • Sayı/Issue: 37 • ss/pp. 170-192 • ISSN: 2630-6220 DOI: 10.17829/turcom.808545 ARAŞTIRMA MAKALESİ / RESEARCH ARTICLE Reporting What’s Going on at the Neighbors from a Distance: Turkish News Channels’ Breaking News Coverage of the 2018 Missile Strikes against Syria Komşuda Olup Bitene Uzaktan Bakmak: Türkiye’deki Haber Kanallarının 2018 Suriye Bombardımanında Sergiledikleri Son Dakika Haberciliği * Ayşen AKKOR GÜL 1 Abstract The research variables of this study are “Turkish journalists’ role preferences” and “Turkish television channels’ use of sources” during the first eight hours of breaking news coverage of the 2018 missile strikes against Syria. The researcher employs content analysis to answer mainly two questions: “Did Turkish journalists perform roles other than “traditional disseminator?” and “Was their reporting balanced insofar as conflicting perspectives were treated equitably?” The study identifies that Turkish journalists preferred the “traditional journalist” role when reporting from Turkey but that of “social commentator” when reporting from abroad. Deviations from traditional journalism consisted of “reporting rumors,” “citing anonymous sources,” and “making personal references.” On the other hand, there was a lack of diversity and balance in the use of sources. For instance, no broadcast journalists reflected the opinions of Syrian refugees living in Turkey, and very few reported from anywhere near the scene of the action. Thus coverage was inadequate insofar as reporters largely focused on one side’s perspective. Keywords: Turkish News Channels, Breaking News, Sources, Violations of Journalism Conventions, International News Öz Bu çalışma, 2018 Suriye Bombardımanı çerçevesinde Türk haber kanallarının ilk sekiz saatte sergiledikleri son dakika haberciliğini, tercih edilen “gazetecilik rolleri” ve kanalların “kaynak kullanımı” açısından irdelemektedir.
