  • 9. Mediated Narratives of Syrian Refugees : Mapping Victim–Threat
    9. Mediated Narratives of Syrian Refugees : Mapping Victim–Threat Correlations in Turkish Newspapers Ayça Tunç Cox Abstract Turkey has become the first and main transition hub for Syrian refugees. Furthermore, Turkey is spatially as well as culturally simultaneously referred to as European and Asian or Middle Eastern depending the point of view. Therefore, the representation of refugees in the Turkish press proves significant for the knowledge produced about refugees. Accordingly, this chapter strives to investigate the coverage of Syrian refugees in newspapers, which constitutes only one aspect of the overall reception of the issue in Turkey, and therefore does not claim to be exhaustive. Yet, because daily newspapers are still among the most important media sectors in Turkey, they constitute a special case of knowledge production worth investigating. Keywords: Turkey, refugees, print media, narratives One of the biggest current global issues is arguably the so-called refugee crisis that is likely to have an impact on every possible aspect of daily life – from employment to housing, education, and health – especially in Europe, for the coming decades. This should be evaluated in light of major debates about transnational mobility, migration, ethnic and racial discrimination, and the concomitant image and knowledge production. Arjun Appadurai argues that ‘mediascapes provide large and complex repertoires of images, narratives and ethnoscapes to viewers throughout the world’ (2003, p. 35). In other words, mediascapes help to create and then to consolidate transnational ‘imagined communities’. In this context, mediated narratives about migration and about refugees play an important role in ethnic and cultural identification processes. Strohmaier, A. and A.

  • News Coverage of the Gulf Crisis in the Turkish Mediascape: Agendas, Frames, and Manufacturing Consent
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 1340–1367 1932–8036/20190005 News Coverage of the Gulf Crisis in the Turkish Mediascape: Agendas, Frames, and Manufacturing Consent IVO FURMAN ERKAN SAKA SAVAŞ YILDIRIM ECE ELBEYİ Istanbul Bilgi University, Turkey Using a data set of 2,968 articles collected from 22 different newspapers in Turkey, this article maps media responses to the ongoing Gulf Crisis. In doing so, we deploy a pioneering methodology derived from natural language processing and correspondence analysis to test whether categorical variables such as political affiliation, ownership, and ideological outlook had any impact on how a news publication covered the Gulf Crisis. In the results and interpretation sections, we attempt to connect our findings to broader discussions on agenda setting, framing, and building consent. Based on our analysis, we propose the following conclusions: (a) Political affiliation, ownership structure, and the ideological outlook all had unique effects on how a publication covered the Gulf Crisis, (b) the progovernment press embarked on a campaign to sway public opinion about the government’s decision to side with Qatar. The dimensions of this campaign strongly resembled an executive act of consent manufacturing, and (c) corporate-owned news organizations were the driving force shaping both the public agenda and the dominant framing of the Gulf Crisis in the Turkish mediascape. Keywords: mass media, computational methodology, correspondence analysis, Gulf Crisis, framing theory, agenda setting On June 5, 2017, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, Yemen, the Maldives, and the United Arab Emirates simultaneously broke off all ties with Qatar, setting off a massive diplomatic crisis in the region.
