Özet:

The center of the "press" phenomenon in the Ottoman Empire was Istanbul. Especially in the 19th century, the printing activities developed under the support and control of the state are an important factor for Istanbul’s being the center of the "journalism" activity. In this process, Turkish humor magazines, which started to be published in 1870, met with readers in Istanbul for the first time. The only exception to this situation is Kara Sinan magazine. Kara Sinan magazine, which started to be published in Izmir in 1875, is the first Turkish humor magazine published outside of Istanbul between 1870 and 1877. The study aims to determine the approach of the Istanbul humor press against the Kara Sinan magazine, which was published in Izmir between 1870-1877, which is called the humor of the Tanzimat period. In this study, in which the Content Analysis method was used, the articles about the Istanbul humor press in the Kara Sinan magazine and the articles about Kara Sinan in the Istanbul humor press were determined as the analysis unit. As a result of the study, it has been determined that only Hayal magazine among the Istanbul humor press has a negative attitude towards Kara Sinan magazine. In addition, it has been observed that humor magazines have commercial relations with each other as well as professional relations between the cities of Istanbul and Izmir.
