| Summary: | Radio, as a means of conveying an event or a message to the public via electromagnetic waves, rose to prominence as a medium of mass communication in the twentieth century. Regimes across the world used radio to influence masses for a variety of class and political purposes. The exploitation of radio in postwar
Turkey, which was in the monopoly of the state as the country strove to integrate with the Western economic system, as a means of political communication by governments from 1946 when Turkey transitioned to a multiparty political system to the establishment of the Turkish State Radio and Television (TRT) in 1964 remains a controversial subject. This article attempts to make a social and
political assessment of radio broadcasting during this period. The research entailed a survey of bibliographical sources relating to previous studies, and the documents thus obtained were evaluated according to the conditions prevalent at the time to be used as data sources. |
