| Summary: | Founded in 1946, the Democrat Party made promises of democratization before coming to power. Some of these promises were made to the press. Many of the media organizations at that time responded to these promises and supported the Democrat Party. With the Press Law amended after they came to power, journalists and press organizations were able to do journalism freely for a while. However, thanks to the different laws enacted in the following periods and the amendments made to the Press Law, the possibility of journalists to broadcast freely has disappeared. It is known that many journalists were imprisoned during the Democrat Party period and many media outlets were closed for various periods. Akis Magazine, which is the subject of this study, started its publication life in 1954. It followed an impartial publishing policy in the first issues. However, Akis Magazine, which followed an opposing publication policy in the following periods, started to set the agenda. This study aims to try to show how Akis Magazine adopted an oppositional publishing policy and how it set the agenda, especially in the period from the beginning of 1960 to the May 27 coup. |
