Deceleration of Turkey's EU Accession on Media Agenda: A Case Study on the Guardian Coverage Between 2003 and 2010*
Türkiyenin Avrupa Birliğine üyeliğiyle ilgili haberler 2004 ve 2005 yıllarında gündemde sıkça yer bulmaktaydı. 3 Ekim 2005te başlayan müzakere sürecinin hemen ardından, Avrupa siyasi gündeminde de konunun popülerliğini yitirmesiyle, Türkiye-AB ilişkileri Avrupa medyasında önemini kaybetmeye başladı. Bu çalışma son yıllarda konunun medya gündeminde önemini ne kadar yitirdiğini ve bu süreçte hangi çerçevede tartışıldığını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Avrupanın ve Birleşik Krallıkın önemli gazetelerinden biri olan Guardian Gazetesi çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Yoğun dönem (01/06/200331/12/2006) ve sessiz dönem (01/01/200731/07/2010) olarak adlandırılan iki dönemde yayınlanan haber metinleri nicel içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları Kıbrıs Sorunu, insan hakları ve demokrasi konularında yeni gelişmeler yaşanmadığı sürece Türkiye-Avrupa Birliği ilişkilerinde sessiz dönemin sonlanmasını zayıf bir ihtimal olarak göstermektedir.
Türkiye nin Avrupa Birliği ne Üyeliği Tartışmalarının Medya Gündeminden Düşmesi: Guardian Gazetesi Üzerinde 2003-2010 Yılları Arasını Kapsayan Bir Örnek Olay İncelemesi
Although news items concerning Turkey-EU relations reached at utmost level in 2004 and 2005, the interest of media on Turkish membership ironically decreased gradually after starting membership negotiations on the 3rd October 2005 as it did so in Europe s policy agenda. The research seeks to ascertain the extent to which the frequency of news items has changed in recent years, and how Turkey-EU relations were covered during the deceleration. The Guardian, one of the leading newspapers of the UK and Europe, is the research sample of the study. News items from this newspaper which were published in the busy period (01/06/2003- 31/12/2006) and the silent period (01/01/2007-31/07/2010) were analysed by using quantitative content analysis method. Research results indicate that without a new development in the Cyprus issue, and taking new initiatives in improving democracy and human rights in Turkey, it is unlikely to end the silent period in Turkey-EU relations.
