Alternative media aganist mainstream media: ?Ahali" and "Mülksüzler" as alaternative newspapers

From the beginning of the 1980?s concentration and financial movements were accelerated in media sector by the effect of globalization throughout the world and Turkey. Public service broadcasting were sold out and there was transition to integrated and unique market structure in the media industry. Following the 1980?s, the Turkish media has completed horizontal and vertical integration phases and from the beginning of 2000, it has started to be articulated in global media giants.Commercialization of media context and oligopolistic structure of media ownership made it difficult for components of society which have been under pressure to represent themselves in public sphere. These pieces of society, who are not represented within the globalizing media, tried to create their own media structures to make their voices heard. They started to generate an alternative media with their own organizational patterns and content against the mainstream media. The collective movement culture, which is made visible by the new social movements within the globalization wave after the1980?s, had effects on the content and the organization practices of the alternative media. Alternative media created an opposite public sphere in which the unrepresented could be represented against the dominant publicity. In Turkey, especially after the 1980?s, public sphere was open to different voices. This diversity made it possible for the alternative media that expresses itself in a different way.In the practical part of the study, monthly anarchist newspaper ?Ahali?, which is published by a group of anarchist people from Ankara through the circle of in İstanbul, and monthly anarchist-communist newspaper `Mülksüzler? which is published by a group of anarchist-communist from İstanbul during the nine months in 2007 is analyzed from the perspective of working practices and content.

In the light of the data collected through the practical part of the study, it is pointed out that the newspaper presents an alternative organization and content model that stands apart from the mainstream media.
