土耳其執(zhí)政黨（正義與發(fā)展黨）與大眾媒體關(guān)系研究（2002-2016）

土耳其執(zhí)政黨（正義與發(fā)展黨）與大眾媒體關(guān)系研究（2002-2016）摘要：本文旨在研究土耳其執(zhí)政黨（正義與發(fā)展黨）與大眾媒體的關(guān)系，時(shí)間跨度為2002年至2016年。土耳其政治生態(tài)的變遷和整個(gè)社會(huì)的變化使得傳媒對(duì)政治具有了更強(qiáng)的影響力。本文從兩個(gè)方面研究正義與發(fā)展黨與大眾媒體的關(guān)系：第一是政治角度，包括黨內(nèi)的媒體監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)建設(shè)、媒體掌握與使用、媒體同意與反對(duì)以及媒體的擠壓和威脅等；第二是媒體角度，包括土耳其媒體市場(chǎng)的開放化、專業(yè)化與多元化以及媒體的獨(dú)立性、自由度和過失傾向等。本文認(rèn)為，正義與發(fā)展黨在媒體掌控方面并沒有像一些人所說的那樣激進(jìn)和強(qiáng)勢(shì)，它更多依靠對(duì)政治力和資本的控制獲取對(duì)媒體的影響力。而土耳其傳媒領(lǐng)域的開放化與多元化對(duì)媒體的獨(dú)立性和自由度有一定促進(jìn)作用，但是過度的媒體市場(chǎng)化導(dǎo)致一些媒體紛爭(zhēng)和市場(chǎng)失衡。

關(guān)鍵詞：土耳其；正義與發(fā)展黨；媒體；政治；市場(chǎng)
