DESCRIPTION:This paper investigates the representation of Syrian asylum s
 eekers in the Turkish press. The research sample includes news reports\,
  columns and visuals published between 2011 and 2015 in five national ne
 wspapers with the highest circulation figures (“Hürriyet”\, “Sabah”\, “P
 osta”\, “Sözcü”\, “Zaman”). Analysis of news texts and columns is a wide
 ly observed aspect of research on press analysis\, however\, conducting 
 a visual analysis on news photographs is usually overlooked. This study 
 investigates news texts and news photographs together. The study shows t
 hat the coverage of Syrian asylum seekers has usually a positive or neut
 ral content. However\, the results also point out the ambivalence in the
  representations of asylum seekers. The representations of Syrian asylum
  seekers portray these individuals mostly as “poor” people “in need of h
 elp” as well as “threats” for social security. These frequently repeated
  representations and ambivalence show that the representation of Syrian 
 asylum seekers in Turkish newspapers reproduces the stereotypical repres
 entation of asylum seekers as defined in international studies. \n \nDr.

 rn Languages and Literatures department at Kilis 7 Aral?k Universitesi.

 ily News’ in Middle East Critique (with Murat Yesiltas).\n \nThe event w
