Gazetecilik etiği önemli bir konudur ve bu çalışma Türkiye’deki 2015 Genel
Seçimleri sırasında yapılmış etik ihlallere odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışma, en yüksek
tirajlı beş gazete olan; Zaman, Hürriyet, Posta, Sözcü ve Sabah’ın, 7 Haziran ve 1
Kasım 2015’te gerçekleşen Genel Seçimler’deki gazetecilik etiği ihlallerini
araştırmıştır.
Çalışmada, içerik analizi kullanılmış ve fiziksel ölçüm hesaba katılmamıştır. Sadece
ön sayfalardaki, politikayla ilgili haberler analiz edilmiş, analiz için kodlama tablosu
hazırlanmış ve Cohen’in formülüne göre .97 ile kodlama tablosunun
uygulanabilirliği kanıtlanmıştır.
Çalışma, iki soruya cevap bulmak için yapılmıştır. Gazetecilik etiğine göre, ön
sayfada yayınlanan haberlerde; (1) iki seçim süresince etik dışı haberler yayınlanmış
mıdır? (2) iki seçim arasında ne gibi bir değişiklik vardır?
Araştırmanın sonucuna göre, bütün gazeteler seçimler süresince etik ihlaller
yapmıştır. Asıl belirgin olan olgu da gazetelerin etik dışı haberler yapmaları yayın
politikalarıyla olduğuydu. Özellikle, etik ihlallerin çoğu seçimlerden önce yapılıyor
ve seçim sonucuna göre gazetelerin tutum belirlediği göze çarpıyor.
