ENGLISH 101

As we watch, in Turkey, they are a great deal of television channels. One of them is TRT which strictly depend on government. I think, this TV channels is affected by today’s Turkish government. Actually, I have not an enough time to watch tv. However, according to my general idea, infrastructure of TRT has started to change. Of course, it is controversial but I think, religion, and ecclesiastical view have become more dominant in TRT’s programmes’ characteristic. When the other channel’s started their broadcast, TRT’s watchers have already decreased. They have watched other channels but in today, I think, TRT address some part of society, so people, who think like in TRT’s programmes, can focus on this channel. As i said before, religious views are dominated in TRT, if we compare the past. However, because these programmes can affect people who, have a same opinion or different opinion in a different way, their broadcast’s content is not very obvious in terms of ecclesiastical perspective. I made this comment because if we look at the Samanyolu, we can see religious domination more obviously. It is Fetullah Gülen’s channel. It reflects his opinion. It is very ridiculous, but they exploit religion in cartoons. Apart from this, STAR TV is another channel which is problematic. I think, Cem Uzan who is the owner of Star Tv, used his channel for politics. He tried to gain more vote by using media. He did his propaganda with a little bit restriction. Some times RTÜK interfered it, but it did not continue for a long time.
