As the Civic Space Research Association, the report, in which we scan and analyze the news on the representation of university students and universities in the pro-government media, continues with the 2nd part. “Targeting in the News – ‘Terrorists’” headline is online!

The second part of the report, in which we analyzed 300 news items covering university students in ahaber, Akşam, Yeni Şafak, Takvim, Türkiye, Sabah, Yeni Akit, Milli Gazete in 2022 is about the representation of students as “terrorists”. Protesting students were almost never defined as “students” in the news. While reporting on university protests in a biased tone and discourse, the main contrast was established between “terrorist” protesters and “nationalist” students.
