Özet:

The press, which is the door open to the truth of society, is obliged to gather, spread and interpret news. In addition to the nature of the news-based field as well as the organizationality, it is the most fundamental feature of the press. Press organizations are economic units that operate according to the governor-managed relationship and are in search of profits. So it is possible to say that the ownership structure of the press agencies affects the structure and functioning of all the processes related to the news. This study, based on the respective characteristics of the press organizations, aims to analyze the ownership structure in the press organizations, the ownership rates, the fields of activities of the owners and the mission and vision expressions. The work universe of the research is made up of national newspapers published in Turkey. In this context, four newspapers listed in the list of "Famous Newspapers" prepared by the Press Advertising Authority have been selected and conform to the sampling criteria. Selected newspapers have been understood in the context of the ownership rates they share with the public on the corporate web pages and their owners’ fields of activity and have been subjected to content analysis through mission and vision expressions. Details about the findings were reflected in the result section of the study and conclusions were made about the ownership structure of Turkish press organizations. The study ends with suggestions for future studies.
