Özet:

The purpose of this study is to interpret the characteristics of the local press that can be conceptualized as a sub-space of journalism in Turkey through the Pierre Bourdieu theory. The study analyses Bourdieu’s field, capital, habitus and strategy concepts and local press experience. For this purpose, discussions were conducted with local journalists working in the press, the research results were interpreted by the topic analysis. The common concept of the talks is that, especially with political developments in recent years, the field of journalism in Turkey has become heterogeneous at a high level and the entrance conditions to the field require social capital rather than cultural capital. The journalists also say that the entrances to the field of journalism show great flexibility and relatively less demand for cultural capital and that journalism, aggression, initiativity, sociality, etc. They say they need a special habit. The main strategies held in the field are more than protection and destruction, out-of-game and escape strategies.
