As a child born in 1989 I should reveal that I grew up with the great effect of media. My mother used to watch soap operas and my father was addicted to news which he used to watch every night. We were under the influence of media as a family which used to have dinner in front of the television. As a child I was glad to have the right of waching TV as much as I want where my friends weren’t allowed to do so. Later on I’ve realized the negative effects of media on our family life, we were sitting apart in the seperate rooms and we weren’t sharing much as we were doing before. We lost our special family rituels and as the channel owners became more interested in ratings then having a qualified broadcasting there was no use of watching the dull programs. Having a talk with your family became more attractice day by day. Now when I check my daily plan I realize that I don’t spend any of my virtious time with watching. For communication with the outer world I use the internet and the newspapers that are biased (unfortunately non are totally). Media takes role in my life less then before and nor I use it more effectively for my benefits and for gathering the information I need.
« Compare different Turkish media outlets (newpapers, television stations, magazines, radio stations)– does the owner have an influence on the content? (who is the owner- is the ideology of the owner reflected in the content?)
