Abstract [en]

Turkey, a quasi-modern and secular state, has a vast media empire that is visibly being stifled by Erdogan’s AKP party. Despite the media pluralism, all media outlets have one thing incommon: they champion Erdogan’s sentiments. This thesis is conducted as a qualitative content analysis to demonstrate the empirical knowledge on the framing mechanism and power structures operating in the Turkish media landscape. The ontological foundation of this study emanates from social constructivism and Entman’s (1993) work on framing theory. Based on the implementation of the qualitative content analysis, 20 articles were analysed from five different newspapers based on their differences in political affiliation. The result ofthe analysis showed that the responsibility frame was used in connection to the Kurds and that the humanitarian frame was used in connection to the Syrian refugees.
