Özet:

In this study, which focuses on the media impact in the construction process of the other, the Australians, who were involved in the forces of the ANZAC fighting with the Ottoman Empire in the First World War, in other words, with the Turks, were taken to the ground. In a country where there is no compulsory military service, a case among the factors that drive Australian citizens to war has been chosen as an example event and the form of news in the period of the case has been studied. In the framework of the study, which has been selected as a sample of periodic newspapers producing a large number of content on the subject, the news has been subjected to content analysis. In a small mining town in the country's New South Wales region (Broken Hill), the armed attack carried out by two inhabitants of the Middle East was observed by political and bureaucratic actors and the Australian press feeding them. In a few newspapers, the President of the Australian Ottoman Society S.J. Attiah's letter explains that the action does not have to do with the Turks, but it is found that the news mainly used the Turkish self-determination language. As a result, the news language serving to the isolation of the Turks, which was defined by the state as "enemy" but not recognized by the Australian people in the relevant period, directly or indirectly contributed to the propaganda of the war period, can be stated that it is in the intention of promoting voluntary military activity in the war against the enemy "even penetrating into the country".
