Abstract

Medya-demokrasi ilişkisi kadar, yapılar ve etik de birbiriyle sıkı şekilde bağlantılıdır.Etik sorunlar, büyük ölçüde yapısal düzenleme ve mekanizmalardan kaynaklanır. Bu çalışma,Türkiye’de medya ve demokrasinin sorunlarını yapısal ve kurumsal bir bakışla tartışmaktadır.Türkiye’deki hâkim demokrasi zihniyetinin ve yüzde 10 seçim barajının demokrasiyi kötürümhale getirdiği, gayri adil temsil mekanizmalarının ve siyasetçiler arasındaki kutuplaşmanınkamu menfaatini zayıflattığı tartışılmaktadır. Bu rekabette, karşıt siyasi aktörler arasındakimenfaat çatışmasının toplumun aleyhine fakat siyasetçi sınıfın lehine işlediği ilerisürülmektedir. Demokrasiye dair sorunlar medyaya da sirayet etmektedir. Medyanın yapısalve etik sorunları bu kapsamda analiz edilmektedir. Medya sahiplik yapısı, kamusal medyakuruluşlarının durumu, tarafsız özdenetim mekanizmalarının eksikliği ve gazetecilerin kişiseletik sorunları incelenmektedir. Tüm bu yapısal ve etik meselelerde siyasetçilerin rolü özelliklesorgulanmaktadır.
