Özet:

There is a relationship based on self-interest of the press and politics. While politics make use of the press to spread their own propaganda, the media benefit from the politics in order to ensure the economic rant and their survival. Though it seems specific to the present day, its history actually dates back to the emergence of the press. The press re-produces the political discourse and ideologies in every single unit of newspapers. At this point, the texts in newspapers draws the head, but the caricatures also play a crucial role in demonstrating this reproduction. “Caricatures are the ways of communication that try to convey the knowledge through simple and clear devices” (Fiske, 1996, 73), while the caricatures sometimes present the production of ideology and political discourse as visually, written and verbally, they frequently do it only visually. In addition, the caricatures mostly aim to make opposition, but whichever way they use, as a consequence they allow the target group to receive the aimed message directly. “Military coups”, the so-called “the adjustments to democracy” were staged in Turkey after the Republic in order to recreate the constitutional order and just after, the constitutional law was regulated again. At this process, the discourse of the ruling and opposition parties were reveluated in the newspapers. In this study, the cartoons published during the 1982 Constitution was analyzed to reproduction newspaper ideologies and political discourse. Moreover it has been revealed whether the caricaturists proceed according to the ideology of the newspaper they were working for. In this study, the newspapers Cumhuriyet, Güneş ve Tercüman that belong all the 1982 era have been analyzed. In this study, along with the literatüre review, discourse analysis and semiotics analysis methods have been used.
