Özet:

The Ottoman scientific magazine began in the second half of the 19th century, but the scientific magazine increased in the real sense, just as it was in all kinds of publications. It was in the period of legality. This explosion in cultural production led to the increasing printing of the newspapers, which led to the financial independence of journalists from bureaucracy. As a result of this development, journalism has become autonomous from bureaucracy. After the independence of the journalism, the process of autonomization of the scientific field from the field of journalism began. In this sense, the Information Mecca is the first scientific magazine that strives to gain the autonomy of the scientific/intellectual field from the field of journalism. The importance of Mecmua is because it is the first magazine to defend the value of science, the specialization in science, the scientific methodology and the principles of science for science, as well as to place them. In other words, the Information Mecca demonstrated its efforts to take the first two very important steps necessary for the autonomization of the scientific/intellectual field, by standing as far as possible away from the political agenda of the period and insisting on the principles of specialization in science, scientific methodology and science. Keywords: Information Mecca, Ottoman Science magazine, scientific field, autonomy, Pierre Bourdieu, journalism.

Abstract: Although Ottoman science journalism initiated after the second half of the 19th century, like in all kinds of publication, the real increase took place just after the proclamation of the Second Constitutional Era. This rise in cultural production brought with it the increasing circulation of newspapers that paved the way for journalists to become financially independent from the bureaucracy and eventually autonomous. Subsequently, the scientific/intellectual field gained its independence from journalism. In this sense, the Bilgi Mecmuası is the first scientific journal to strive to gain the autonomy of the scientific/intellectual field from the field of journalism. The importance of Bilgi Mecmuası was that it was the first journal to strive to defend the value of science, the scientific specialization and methodology and the principles of science and endeavored to disseminate them. In other words, the Bilgi Mecmuası kept far away from the political agenda of the period and insisted on the scientific specialization and methodology and scientific principles, both very important first steps towards the autonomy of the scientific/intellectual field. Keywords: Bilgi Mecmuası, Ottoman Science Journalism, scientific field, autonomy, Pierre Bourdieu, journalism.
