It is true that the new media as well as the social media have profoundly affected the conventional media. The area mostly affected by such dramatic changes in the media is undoubtedly the printed newspapers. Recent developments in the media, contents such as audio, motion videos, text and pictures have become portable in an interactive manner instead of a traditional one-way communication. Internet was soon to become an important and competent supplementary element in journalism starting from the beginning of 90’s. New communication technologies allowed real time access to existing news industry products. Internet also simplified the access to a massive number of news, archives, maps, video and audio records or materials supporting news. Nowadays, such dramatic change – it may even be called as a revolution – has also brought along some problems in corporate culture of published newspapers. Flamholtz and Randle (2011) argue that there are four primary types of cultural transformation that an organization might experience: 1) from early-stage entrepreneurship to a professionally managed firm, 2) revitalization, 3) business vision (strategy) transformation, and 4) business combination (merger, acquisition). Transformation that occurs in the printed newspapers’ corporate cultures can be a significant example for ‘business vision transformation’ as this process involves changing a company’s existing business vision and related strategy to fundamentally different ones. It can be claimed that Internet can play a vital role in this type of transformation while the driving force behind this type of transformation is generally some sort of strategic factor such as technological change, competition, etc. In this study, in-depth interviews will be conducted with the top executives and/or executives from the public relations or marketing departments of the newspapers with the highest traffic rank (milliyet.com.tr, hürriyet.com.tr and sabah.com.tr) in Turkey in order to question whether they have developed any strategies to transform their corporate cultures. Literature Review Corporate Culture In this part, we tried to analyze previous researches about corporate culture and transformation of corporate culture. Corporate culture and organizational culture are the two terms that are used interchangeably. In this paper, the term corporate culture will be used. The topic has been studied from a variety of perspectives such as anthropology, sociology, management science, and corporate communication. Definitions are listed below: Hofstede (1997) defines corporate culture as "the collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one organisation from others" and also corporate culture could be considered a model of norms, values, beliefs and attitudes, which affects behavior of the employees (Schein, 1986). Cameron and Quinn (2010) claim that an organisation’s culture is reflected by what is valued, the dominant leadership styles, the language and symbols, the procedures and routines that make an organisation unique. Although there are many definitions concerning the concept, the common characteristics of the definitions are that it is about values and experiences. Brown defines corporate culture as “the pattern of beliefs, values and learned ways of coping with experience that have developed during the course of an organisation’s history, and which tends to be manifested in its material arrangements and in the behaviors of its members” (1998:9). Thus, he underlines the importance of communicating the corporate culture both among the internal and external publics. O’Reilly and Chatman (1986:160) explains culture in a more employee centered point of view and claims that it is a social control system based on shared values and norms that set expectations about appropriate attitudes and behaviors for organisational members. Schein (1983:22) mentions that creating a culture involves a teaching process that helps the employees incorporate the corporate culture. This process can be realized by mechanisms such as, formal statements of organizational philosophy, mission, vision, values, and materials used for recruiting, selection, and socialization, the design of physical space, work environments, and buildings, slogans, language, acronyms, and sayings, deliberate role modeling, training programs, teaching, and coaching by managers and supervisors, explicit rewards, status symbols (e.g., titles), and promotion criteria, stories, legends, and myths about key people and events, the organizational activities, processes, or outcomes that leaders pay attention to, measure, and control, leader reactions to critical incidents and organizational crises, the workflow and organizational structure, organizational systems and procedure, organizational goals and the associated criteria used

Place is not only a fact to be explained in the broader frame of space, but it is also a reality to be clarified and understood from the perspectives of the people who have given it meaning. (Yi-Fu Tuan Space and Place, 1979: 387) The current protest movement isn’t about the past; it is about today and tomorrow. It started because a new generation wanted to defend Gezi Park, a public green space, against the violent, abusive manner in which the government sought to sacrifice it to the gods of neo-liberalism and neo- Ottomanism with a plan to build a replica of Ottoman barracks, a shopping mall and apartments (Edhem Eldem, ‘Turkey’s False Nostalgia’, New York Times, 2013).

  • Renault Makes Donation of an Exclusive Allelectric
    PRESS RELEASE 2012­09­06 RENAULT MAKES DONATION OF AN EXCLUSIVE ALL­ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO POPE BENEDICT XVI French carmaker Renault has presented His Holiness Benedict XVI with an electric vehicle designed and built especially to meet the Pope’s mobility needs. The vehicle is based on Kangoo Maxi Z.E. and was developed in association with the French coachbuilder Gruau. Renault also donated a second electric vehicle to the Corps of Gendarmerie of Vatican City. These vehicles were presented to the Pope yesterday by the Renault Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn at the Holy Father’s summer residence in Castel Gandolfo. Renault has presented the Vatican with two electric vehicles made especially to meet the mobility needs of the Pope. The vehicles were handed over on Wednesday, September 5, to His Holiness Benedict XVI by Renault’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn during a visit to the Pope’s summer residence in Castel Gandolfo. The first vehicle, for use when the Pope is travelling at his summer residence, is white with the Papal coat of arms depicted on the doors. It is an ecological, sustainable­development version of the Popemobile. Based on Kangoo Maxi Z.E., it measures 4.6 metres in length and 1.8 metres in width. It is powered by a 44kW (60hp) electric motor and a lithium­ion battery which ensures an average NEDC combined­cycle range of 170km. The design of the other vehicle is very similar to that of the first, although its blue livery features a white and yellow stripe along each flank.
