Abstract

This is a study designed and conducted to analyse how TVnews of American occupation of Iraq was covered in prime news programmes of Turkey’s TVchannels We watched the American occupation which was based on the alleged chemical weapons threat and on a legal ground of bringing democracy to Iraq along with the people fleeing in the shade of bombs exploding in distance. Death tolls were presented as mere statistics. We tried to estimate the extent of the war through fear and the panic-stricken eye of the reporters. While these events were happening in Iraq, were there only the discussions of motion on the agenda of our country? What kind of news is available? What were the sources of news? Were the schedules of TVchannels alike? Answers were sought for these questions in this study by means of content analysis method.
