Sabah newspaper published mostly AKP’s news and photographs. AKP is followed by<br />

CHP and MHP.<br />

B. General Characteristics of News:<br />

Here are the general characteristics of news:<br />

1. News about AKP are announced on first page and presented in inside pages. There is not<br />

such an application to other parties.<br />

2. AKP news covers more space than CHP and MHP news. This space is two times more in<br />

favor of AKP.<br />

3. In inside pages of newspaper AKP news take first place. AKP news is generally presented<br />

on top-half part of the page. Other parties’ news is placed on bottom of the page.<br />

4. AKP news usually takes the headlines however other parties’ news is never on the<br />

headlines.<br />

5. Photographs of election speeches of AKP are crowded but this is not the case for other<br />

parties. CHP and MHP’s photographs include only the leaders (for CHP except one<br />

photograph) but in AKP photographs the leader is seen in crowd.<br />

6. Other parties excluding AKP, CHP and MHP are subject to news only when their leaders<br />

make an allegation against CHP and MHP.<br />

7. Only AKP’s meeting news occupies the headlines although the same day there are the<br />

meeting of 5 different parties in İ stanbul. Differently than this news, headlines convey<br />

information about meetings. They emphasize AKP’s huge crowd. News reflects that CHP’s<br />

crowd is lesser than AKP’s.<br />

C. Highlighted Themes of AKP in Sabah:<br />

1. Achievements of AKP: Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan during the opening of<br />

Kağıthane-Piyalepaşa Tunnel and Sütlüce Congress and Culture Center in Istanbul<br />

noted that they achieved important organizations the last five years and said “We are<br />

and you are Şirin. We walk and we will walk in this journey of civilization by piercing<br />

the mountains. Others backbite and gossip behind us”.<br />
