Türkiye'de ana-akım haber medyası çökerken: Gazetecilerin gözünden uluslararası haber kuruluşlarının Türkçe servisleri

Faced with both an income crisis and a process of transformation due to digitalization, journalism worldwide is searching for new ways to survive. In Turkey, in addition to this global trend, journalism has been experiencing perhaps its most difficult period in recent years in the face of the AKP's policies to take over the media since the day it came to power. This thesis analyzes the transformation of the Türkiye's media during the AKP rule as a story of the collapse of the mainstream media and argues that under these circumstances, foreign media emerged as a working space for journalists in Turkey. Accordingly, this study will examine journalistic practices in the Turkish services of international news organizations and investigate how journalists working in foreign media experience the pressure and control mechanisms directed at journalists in Türkiye, both inside and outside the organization. In line with this aim, the research uses semi-structured in-depth interviews to explore the reasons why journalists working or have worked for international news organizations prefer foreign media, the constraints and challenges they face while working in foreign media, and their views and attitudes on the current state of the Turkish media and the place of international media in this current picture.
