Terör Saldırılarının Haberleştirilmesinde Gazete Yayın Politikalarının Etkisi
The Effect of Newspaper Publication Policies on Turning Terror Attacks into News

Summary/Abstract: The language and discourse that the media uses to represent terrorism can be designed to provide social reconciliation, to establish peace, as well as to create irritation in public or to serve terrorism purposes. The aim of this study is to reveal the reflection of the publishing policies and ideological structures adopted by media organizations to the language and news discourse used in the presentation of news about terror attack. In this context, the statements made by the newspapers determined by the bombed terrorist attacks in Ankara Güvenpark on October 10, 2015 and the Ankara Gazi on March 13, 2016 were analysed on the basis of terror attacks’ presentation. In the study, the discourse analysis method developed by Teun van Dijk was used. Discussions on terrorism related to these two events in the newspapers Evrensel and Birgün, which have socialist publishing policies, have been examined. As a result of the analyses, it became clear that the practices, the frames and the structures of the discourse that the newspapers used in turning the two terrorist attacks into news are different.
