Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to demonstrate how news articles about children at risk were presented in the mainstream press. Materials and Method: We selected four daily newspapers with high daily circulation believed to represent different opinions. We reviewed all articles on children at risk in the Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Radikal, and Zaman newspapers between 1 January and 31 December 2011. We categorized and counted these articles, evaluated article content and presentation, and performed content analysis. Results: The total number of articles on children at risk was quite low compared to the general number of articles. The news about children were mostly about violence and the children were mostly depicted as victims of violence. Others were sexual assault, abuse and rape. The least common subject was child labor. We found that the media disregarded the increased use of children in crime. conclusion: In summary, the children were only depicted as victims in the press and even positive articles were not sensitive to child rights

Abstract (Turkish)

Türkiye’de Risk Altındaki Çocukların Ana Akım Basında Temsili

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de ana akım yazılı basında risk altındaki çocuklarla ilgili haberlerin nasıl sunulduğunu ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışma kapsamında günlük olarak yayınlanan, yüksek satış rakamına sahip ve farklı görüşleri temsil ettiğine inanılan dört gazete incelenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında 1 Ocak-31 Aralık 2011 tarihleri arasında Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet, Radikal, Zaman gazetelerinde risk altında olduğu düşünülen çocuklarla ilgili yayınlanmış tüm haberler ele alınmıştır. Seçilen gazetelerde risk altındaki çocukların konu olduğu haberler kategorilere göre ayrılmış, bu kategorilerde kaç haber olduğu sayılmıştır. Daha sonra haberlerin içeriklerine, sunumlarına bakılmıştır. Risk altındaki çocukların konu olduğu haberler üzerinde içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar: Bir yıl içinde risk altındaki çocuklarla ilgili çıkan toplam haber sayısının gazetelerde yayınlanan genel haber sayısına göre daha az olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çocukların en çok şiddet haberlerine konu oldukları ve genellikle şiddet mağduru olarak yer aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Çocukların yazılı basında temsilinde ikinci olarak cinsel sömürüye, tacize ve tecavüze maruz kalma ile ilgili haberlere konu olduklarını görmekteyiz. En az işlenen konunun çocuk işçiliği olduğu görülmüştür. Ülkemizde son yıllarda çocukların suça itilmesinde ciddi artış olmasına karşın medyanın bu soruna ilgisiz kaldığı belirlenmiştir. Tartışma: Tüm bu verilerin ışığında, çocuğun medyada temsil edilmesi için ya suçlu ya da mağdur durumda olması gerektiği, olumlu örneklerde bile çocuk haklarına duyarlı şekilde davranılmadığı tespit edilmiştir
