Abstract:

 This study aims to examine the news published in Turkish newspapers between 2017 and 2021, focusing on the German language German news stories. The interest in this topic stems from the significance of Turkish-German relations and the portrayal of the German language in the media. Initially, ten Turkish newspapers were selected using purposeful sampling procedures to conduct the investigation. After an elimination process, seven newspapers remained for the analysis. The electronic archives of these newspapers were utilized for data collection, with the keyword German or German language being employed. The collected data were analysed using content analysis techniques to comprehensively examine the news content. Four main variables were considered during the analysis of newspaper articles: circulation over the years regarding the German language, newspaper sections where the news was published, the approach taken in the news reports positive, negative, neutral, and the content of the news itself. The results of this study indicate that the number of news articles concerning the German language in Turkish newspapers has increased over the years. This suggests an elevated interest in the German language within Turkish society and emphasizes the significant role played by the media in reporting on this topic. The findings of this study contribute to expanding understanding of the perception and portrayal of the German language in the Turkish press. Additionally, they provide a foundation for further investigations into Turkish-German relations and the influencing factors on media coverage.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, Alman diliyle Almanca ile ilgili Türk gazetelerinde 2017-2021 dönemi arasında yayımlanan haberleri incelemektir. Bu çalışma ile Alman Dili üzerinden Türk-Alman ilişkilerinin öneminin medya aracılığı ile toplumdaki algısının ve Türk medyasında Alman dilinin nasıl tasvir edildiğinin ortaya konması hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmayı yürütmek için öncelikli örneklem kullanılarak on Türk gazetesi seçilmiştir. Bazı kriterler sonucunda eleme süreci gerçekleştirilmiş, analiz için yedi gazete kalmıştır. Bu gazetelerin elektronik arşivleri, Almanca veya Alman dili anahtar kelimesi kullanılarak veri toplama amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler, haber içeriğinin kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmesini sağlamak için içerik analizi tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Gazete makalelerinin analizi sırasında dört ana değişken dikkate alınmıştır: Alman diline ilişkin yıllara göre yayılım, haberlerin yayımlandığı gazete bölümleri, haber raporlarında benimsenen yaklaşım pozitif, negatif, tarafsız ve haberin içeriği. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, Türk gazetelerinde Alman diliyle ilgili haberlerin sayısının yıllar içinde sistematik olmasa da arttığını göstermektedir. Bu, Türk toplumunda Alman diline olan artan ilgiyi işaret etmekte ve medyanın bu konuda raporlama yaparken oynadığı önemli rolü vurgulamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın bulguları, Alman dilinin Türk basınındaki algı ve tasvirinin anlaşılmasını genişletmeye katkıda bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, Türk-Alman ilişkileri ve medya haberlerine etki eden faktörler üzerine daha fazla araştırma yapılabilmesi için zemin oluşturmaktadır.
