Comparision Between Turkish and International Media
When Turkish media is compared to International media, there surely are both differences and similarities between them.
Firstly, talking about the differences, I think there is a serious reliability issue which can be said against the Turkish media. Media’s, both visual and written, responsibility is to acknowlodge and inform the citizens about the national and worldwide news and also to do these as soon as possible as the life goes on and news can change day by day, or even hour by hour.
Talking about Turkish media, this responsibility seems to have changed a bit in a much different way. Now, instead of informing people, media is trying to affect people politically and socially. And looking at the international media, the main aim is to inform people about the facts and events which occur around the world. I think this is the main difference between these two different kinds of media, one forgets about the whole world and publish the news according to owner’s ideas and politicak thoughts, and another one tries to inform people in an objective way, by not praising the ministers or other politically related people.
Well, there are also similarities between them, as they both publish news about celebrities and post pictures about the people, whom the citizens are interested in their private lifes. I don’t think about giving specific examples, but some newspapers or TV channels do this in order to increase their sales numbers.
