Uluslararası ilişkilerin medya üzerindeki etkisi

The present study takes an analytical approach to investigate the effects of international relations on the media. Taking the Iranian nuclear deal as a focus, the study analyzes the reporting of three major news media outlets on the matter; BBC Arabic, Al-Mayadeen,, Al- Arabiya Al-Hadath and Euronews. The reporting was analyzed at three different periods; the negotiations between the Obama administration and Iran prior to the 2015 nuclear deal, Trump administration's withdrawal from the deal, and the restarting of negotiations in Vienna between Iran and the Biden administration. It was apparent in this study that the three media outlets reported on the matter with certain patterns that can be explained by the background of each. Al-Mayadeen had an apparent bias towards Iran and highlighted its strengths while attacking Western stances, Al-Arabiya Al-Hadath leaned towards the West and attacked the stances of Iran while supporting the prospect of cancelling the deal, and BBC Arabic tended to be centrist while sharing the European and UK viewpoint which attempted conflict resolution, highlighting the faults and views of both Iran and the US, and Euronews show the European view. These findings confirm the hypothesis that states the Media's subordination to International Relations, as it shows a clear bias of news media outlets through their support to the respective parties that back their outlets.
