Abstract:

The environmental movements that arise with urbanization and industrialization due to the difficulty of environmental values, the preservation of sustainable energy resources; the scale is to draw attention to global warming pollution, the destruction of forests, the negative environmental factors that threaten the lives of all living beings, to create a community and to develop solutions to problems. To these goals, organizing on the basis of parties is one of the methods developed by the surroundings. In the West, the environmental partialization that occurred in the 1970s, in Turkey in 1988, arose with the intention of seeing a pressure mechanism due to the lack of work of volunteer organizations. This formation, established under the name of the Greens Party in Turkey, followed a descent-out journey. Finally, in 2012, the Greens and Left Future Party aimed at the environmental movements and the struggles of women, LGBT, youth, children, persons with disabilities, and animal rights defenders in the perspective of new social movements. As with all social movements, environmental movements also need advertising. The nature of the social movements facing the system is a problem in the representation by the mainstream media. Therefore, it is necessary to use the alternative media that differs from the mainstream media in terms of organizational structure, purposes, and content and functional opposite public creation. In this study, the Green Gazette will evaluate the relationship between political environmental movements and alternative media. For this reason, the first political environmental movements, alternative media relationships, were directed by the literary scan. The information obtained from the organized conversation with the newspaper's Nuclear News Editor Pınar Demircan on the organizational structure, purposes, publication policy of the Green Gazette was submitted. Finally, through the content analysis, it was identified how much environmental issues and political environmental movements were placed in the Green Gazette. Also, the mainstream media-Green Gazette comparison was also sought to reveal the differences of alternative media. As a result, it has been found that the Green Gazette has shown its organizational structure, purposes and content as an alternative media. Thus, an exemplary visual research was conducted to evaluate alternative media and environmental movements.
