This new manner of news producing has been referencing the power of the media in building the daily agenda, creating the representation of the minorities and ethnicities and in their power in finding solution to the social and political conflicts. Therefore this new process of news production has been named as reporting of rights, citizen and public journalism and peace journalism. In this regard the new mode of news reporting has focused on the discriminations, impartiality and has endeavoured to cover those who are not represented in the mainstream media well enough such as minorities and those who are ignored by the media although their rights are violated and who are usually are subject of socio-political pressures. In this regard my paper aims to examine the connection between news discourse of Turkish journalism and the representation of human rights and democratisation in Turkey on the basis of Kurdish Issue and the power of news production in managing the conflicts in Turkey.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Peace journalismSociology of newsNewsNews sources and news productionPress freedomsMedia ownership and pluralismPolitics and militarismHuman rightsMinority mediaDemocracyEthicsLibertad de prensaTurquíainfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
