Dr. Yusuf Ziya Ay, a faculty member in the Journalism Department at Istanbul University, has published a new book examining the ideological construction of the perception of the Republic in the media. Titled The Ideological Construction of the Perception of the Republic in the Media: News Editing and Framing, the book is available through Nobel Academic Publishing. It offers a comprehensive analysis of how television journalism approaches events from an ideological perspective, going beyond the principle of neutrality to present news through specific frames.

The Use of Dominant and Opposing News Frames
The book evaluates how the perception of the Republic is constructed in the media through dominant and opposing news frames. It compares how these frames are employed in the editorial process, including the order and duration of news, and how these elements are related to the ideological memory of the Republic. Dr. Yusuf Ziya Ay highlights how these processes strengthen the Republic’s place in societal memory.

The Role and Effects of News Editing
This work, an essential resource for journalism students and professionals, focuses on how news editing shapes ideological perspectives. It argues that the news frames chosen by editors have the power to influence the attitudes and opinions of citizens in various directions. The book delves into how television journalism in Turkey frames the Republic and constructs the perception of social reality in a detailed manner.

Debates on the Republic and Ideology
The book also addresses academic discussions on the Republic and ideology both in Turkey and globally. In this context, the role of news framing practices in constructing social reality is examined in depth through ideological perspectives. Dr. Yusuf Ziya Ay’s work stands out as a significant resource for understanding the ideological effects of media and the role of news editing in shaping societal memory.
