description As an indispensable element of journalism, column writing has a significant place in the history of the press and today. Therefore, many publications have taken the concept of column writing as a research subject based on the context of the columns. However, the number of studies that analyze column writing as an occupation is limited. The aim of this research is to contribute to the existing gap on the subject. For this purpose, the subject matter of this study has been determined as the development process of column writing in Turkey. Within this scope, the basic attributes of column writing and its transformation have been analyzed based on Takvim-i Vekayi, the first official newspaper of the Ottoman Empire, and Tercüman-i Ahval, the first private newspaper. The texts point out the conclusion that column writing in Turkey is effected by political and social developments. Additionally, it is observed that column writing experiences the discussions of simplification of language in order to access the public in different eras. As the administrative style and publishing policy of newspapers have transformed due to the changing political and economic orientations, column writing too was subject to this change. In sum, by looking at the subject from a holistic perspective, founding a basis for column writing in Turkey within its historical context is one of the conclusions of this research.
