Media is one of the most important sectors providing communication and communication in the information age we are in. Newspapers, magazines and books with internet, satellite, mobile networks, radio and television and print press arguments can enable us to be instantly aware of the developments in the globalizing world. In addition to being aware of information and developments, the media also provides rapid communication and interaction between individuals in the global world, which means the elimination of borders. In addition to communication and communication functions, another task of the media is that it is a fourth power in democracies alongside the legislature, executive and judiciary. The expression of the media as the fourth power actually shows the strong emphasis placed on its supervisory duty. It is the fact that the media sector, sometimes referred to as guided media, sometimes pressured media and sometimes biased media, can influence society and the individuals that make up this society in the context of political power. In addition, the media has a very important duty to ensure that the activities of the political power gain legitimacy in the eyes of the people and individuals. The aim of this research is to examine the details of the use of ideology and hegemony processes in the editing of news within the scope of Central Media, which has undergone transformation since the 2000s in Turkey. For the purpose of the research, the transformation process of the media in Turkey and the changes in the fiction of the news were examined in detail through the conceptual framework of ideology and hegemony.
