| Summary: | As a way to guide individual or group behavior; in other words, power as a problem of management
and mediatic violence as the power’s one of the ideological apparatuses, violence is represented in the
media in various ways. Violence in the media may exist in the news narratives and in the visuals used
for news items. The aim of this study is to explain how and by which methods the “Mediatic Violence” is re-produced in the news by the media. This gender – focused violence is far more discursive, literary
and textual than the factual. In this framework, critical discourse analysis were conducted on the news
items regarding Sefika Etik in Habertürk Newspaper dated 7th of November 2011 and Özgecan Aslan
murder report dated 15th of February 2015 in Akşam Newspaper. Findings of these studies show that
the mediatic violence which is fictionalized and re-produced in the news, legitimizes violence against
women and normalizes it in the public opinion |
