Özet:

Following social, political and economic disruptions, the European Union, established in order to avoid the same problems again, increases its geographical boundaries and the number of countries in the community with horizontal and vertical expansions. The European Union is expecting that the nations that want to be a member will implement a series of reforms in their existing policies within the framework of the coherence process and meet under a common European share. One of the communities is the media field. The situation in the media field is one of the key topics on which the EU stands. The EU, which takes attention to the values of multiplicity and cultural diversity in visual and hearing media policies, puts the media policies on the table in Turkey’s nomination process. Turkey’s media policy is analyzed with reports that it prepares its positive and negative steps towards multiplication and cultural diversity approaches. In the study, the sections prepared on the media policies of Turkey in the EU progress reports between 2005 and 2019 were studied by content analysis method. In the prepared reports, although Turkey has taken positive steps within the media policies, they have not been seen at a satisfactory level, the negative perspective is reflected in reports every year. Since 2016, the fight against the terrorist organization FETO and the judicial and administrative investigation carried out in the EU progress reports, the opposition is considered a threat to cleansing, authorization and freedom of the press. The report, which was published in 2019 and is the most up-to-date, said that the uncertainty of transparency in the financing of the media, the increased impact of political interests on publication policies, the concentration of media ownership, the decrease in the field of multiplication and the restrictions on freedom of expression were among the causes of this decline. The report also noted that negative speeches targeting minorities, national, ethnic and religious groups were transmitted through the media, the events in Palestine appeared in the media and the anti-Semitism speeches were increased. The representation of the woman in the media still carries major problems, the awareness programmes for the purpose of ensuring gender equality and the prevention of violence against women cannot find a lot of place in the media, and a homophobic language is the ruler in the media. These and similar circumstances have been pointed out that Turkey has caused a decline in the process of compliance with EU media policies.
