本文的目的是研究2011年土耳其全国大选期间的新闻党并行。本文报告了对15家报纸的9,127篇新闻文章和社论专栏进行内容分析的结果，这些文章和专栏是关于在为期12周的全国大选期间媒体与政党并行的轨迹。我们专注于两个指标的新闻党平行：（1）各自的“声音”给两个领先的政党，计算为新闻的比例，引用的消息来源从现任的正义与发展党（AKP）和领先的反对党共和人民党（CHP）和（2）新闻文章的语气对正义与发展党和共和人民党。首先，根据读者投票意向的调查数据，将被分析的报纸分为3类：（1）以AKP为主要投票对象的“保守派”报纸、（2）“主流报纸”、（3）以CHP为投票对象的“反对派”报纸。调查结果表明，在竞选过程中，保守派和反对派报纸的内部多元化在给予各自政党的声音和新闻报道的基调方面有所下降。
The aim of this article is to examine press-party parallelism during the 2011 national elections in Turkey. The article reports findings from a content analysis of 9,127 news articles and editorial columns from fifteen newspapers regarding the trajectory of press-party parallelism over the course of the twelve-week national elections campaign period. We focus on two indicators of press-party parallelism: (1) respective “voice” given to the two leading parties, calculated as the ratio of news that quoted sources from the incumbent Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) to the leading opposition party Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP) and (2) news articles’ tones toward AKP and CHP. The newspapers that were content analyzed were first categorized into three groups based on survey data regarding the voting intentions of their readers: (1) a group of “conservative” newspapers whose readers intended to vote primarily for AKP, (2) a group of “mainstream broadsheets,” and (3) a group of “opposition” newspapers with a readership base intending to vote for CHP. The findings suggest that over the course of the election campaign, internal pluralism in both conservative and opposition papers declined in terms of voice given to respective parties and tone of news coverage.
