Yener, Yasemin M.A., Department of Communication and Design Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Ahmet Gürata January, 2013 The television series Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne?, which first aired in September 2010, turned in to a phenomenon. The rape scene in the first episode was anticipated for months and after it aired, scene was talked about for very long time. In mass media, series was addressed widely. There were many different criticisms regarding the rape scene. Mainly, it was blamed for vividly representing the act of rape, thus en- couraging and rape and humiliating women in various newspaper articles. However, while doing so, newspapers employed a number of rhetoric that may be elucidated as normalization of rape discourse through concealing by deceiving and trivializing rape. In this study, newspaper articles related to Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne? published in Zaman, Hürriyet, Posta, Radikal and Cumhuriyet newspapers are studied and eval- uated in terms of discourse they employ in order to determine rape discourses in Turkish newspapers. Key Words: Rape, Sexual Violence, Rape Myths, Rape on Television, Normaliza- tion, Discourse, Women. iii ÖZET TÜRKİYEDE TECAVÜZ SÖYLEMLERİ: TÜRK TELEVİZYON DİZİSİ FATMAGÜL’ÜN SUÇU NE? ÖRNEĞİ Yener, Yasemin Yüksek Lisans, Ekonomi ve Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü Danışman: Yardımcı Doçent Doktor Ahmet Gürata Ocak, 2013 2010 yılının Eylül ayında yayınlanmaya başlayan Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne? isimli televizyon dizisi fenomene dönüştü. Birinci bölümünde yer alan tecavüz sahnesi aylarca merakla beklendi; yayınlandıktan sonar da aynı sahne uzun zaman konuşul- du. Medyada da diziden oldukça bahsedildi. Tecavüz sahnesi hakkında pek çok farklı eleştiri yapıldı. Çeşitli gazetlerede ağırlıklı olarak tecavüzün açıkça temsil edilmesi ve tecavüzün imrendilirlmesi, kadınların küçük düşürülmesi sebepleriyle suçlandı. Fakat bu şekilde eleştirirlerken, gazeteler, üstünü örtme ve önemsizleştir- me yöntemleriyle tecavüzü normalleştirme söylemini olarak nitelendirilebilecek retoriklere başvurdular. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki tecavüz söylemlerinin belirle- mek için Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne? dizisi hakkında Zaman, Hürriyet, Posta, Radikal ve Cumhuriyet gazetelerinde çıkan haberler, izledikleri söylemler bakımından ele alınmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Tecavüz, Cinsel Şiddet, Tecavüz Mitleri, Televizyonda Tecavüz, Normalleştirmek, Söylem, Kadın. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank Assist.

Buna bağlı olarak haber medyasında öne çıkan konular ve bu konuların haberleştirilmesinde kullanılan dilsel pratikler geniş bir inceleme alanı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ise medya gündeminin çok sık değiştiği ya da değiştirildiği yönündeki tartışmaların hız kazandığı bir yıl olarak 2009 yılında, yaygın medyanın değişmez konu başlıkları, bu konulardan olu şan medya gündemini kimin belirlediği, nasıl şekillendirdiği, gündemin değişim sıklığı ve hızı, haber sunumunda öne çıkan çerçeveler gibi sorulara yanıtlar aranmıştır.

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.

  • Journalists and Twitter Use in Turkey
    Every Now And Then: Journalists and Twitter Use in Turkey BANU AKDENIZLI he introduction of new communi- Associate Professor cation technologies has raised Yeditepe University questions about how existing Faculty of Communication media practices and media work Head of Public Relations and Publicity Department are changing as a result (Lievrow [email protected] T2002). Audio, visual, and digit- al innovations have contributed to the changing way journalists think and practice their profession (Lasorsa, Lewis & Holton, 2011). Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twit- ter are transforming journalists from gatekeepers of information into information sharers in public spaces. This study builds on Lasorsa, Lewis & Hol- ton’s (2012) work and on a study by The Pew Re- search Center’s Journalism Project (PEW Journal- ism), How Mainstream Media Outlets Use Twitter (2012), and focuses on the behavior of journalists in Turkey on Twitter. It aims to explore what kind of information Turkish journalist share online and how, if and how they engage with fellow users, and how their overall Twitter practice influences and in some cases redefines their role as professional journalists. To answer these research questions a list of the 20 most followed Turkish journalists was compiled. The sample derived for this study includes each journalist’s number of followers as of Febru- ary 2012. Overall this study aims to discover how journalists in Turkey are using Twitter and what it means for a journalist to tweet. On a larger scale this study aims to offer insight into transformations in the practice of journalism in the particular case of Turkey, a country with an appetite for development Pour citer cet article Référence électronique Banu Akdenizli, « Every Now And Then: Journalists and Twitter Use in Turkey », Sur le journalisme, About journalism, Sobre jornalismo [En ligne], Vol 4, n°1 - 2015, mis en ligne le 15 mars 2015.

  • 142 CELEBRITY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS AS PUBLIC DIPLOMACY TOOLS Ömer Vatanartıran * Özet Abstract
    Ömer Vatanartıran CELEBRITY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS AS PUBLIC DIPLOMACY TOOLS Ömer Vatanartıran * Özet Bir ülkeden diğerine resmi ziyaretler, yerleşik temsilcilikler ya da üst düzey devlet görevlileri- nin görüşmeleri gibi daha kapalı, önceden çizilmiş üslupların ve iletişim yollarının titizlikle takip edildiği geleneksel diplomasinin karşılıklı iletişime, etkileşime ve ortak değer üretimine dayalı daha açık, esnek ve ulaşılabilir kamu diplomasisine evriminde, kitle iletişim teknolojilerinin rolü kaçınılmazdır. Özellikle dijital medya, diplomasinin sadece resmi aktörlerinin çevrimiçi temsilini ve daha kolay temasını mümkün kılmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda toplumların her kesim ve düzeyinden yurttaşa etkileşim imkanı tanımış- tır. Kendiliğinden bir kültürel diplomasi başarı hikayesine dönüşen Türk dizilerinin artık dünyaca tanınan oyuncuları da, sosyal medyada dünyanın dört bir yanından takipçileriyle etkileşim halindedir. Bu olgunun, Türkiye’nin yabancı kamuoyu ile temasında dijital diplomasi aracı olarak nasıl bir potansiyel taşıdığını anlamak için yabancı ülkelerde yayına giren “Fatmagül’ün Suçu Ne?” dizisinin başrol oyuncusu Beren Saat’in Instagram hesabı incelenmiştir. Bu içerik analizi, uluslararası ölçekte tanınan dizi yüzlerinin dijital hesaplarının global bir mikro kamusal alan niteliği taşıdığını ve daha etkili dijital diplomasi iletişim strate- jisi için verimli bir kaynak oluşturduğunu göstermiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: Dijital diplomasi, kamusal alan, uluslararası şöhret, kamu diplomasisi, stratejik ileti- şim, Türk TV dizileri Abstract The evolution of traditional diplomacy carried out during the formal visits or summits of perma- nent representative agencies or high level protocols in a relatively closed, neatly planned, and procedural environments to a more open, flexible, and accessible way of a public diplomacy, which is based on mu- tual communication, interaction, and creation of a common value would not have been possible without the transformation of communication technologies.
