The most obvious difference between Turkish media and the other international medias is that Turkish media cares more about the competitive between each other, I mean for example a channel and another which both are in Turkey, than the appearance of the country to the whole world. Just for an example; if there happens a big fire which is caused by faulths of Turkish people, they immediately show it on their channels. Another example is the football matches and the fights happening in the stadium. I have witnessed this obvious difference for many times; in Turkey, our cameramen would do whatever they need to show that fight and their bosses appreciate them because of it but although there are happening fights in most of the other countries, too, they would never take those scenes and their bosses would not want them to do so. An another example is the situation in the wars, if our soldiers having troubles in bad conditions they never think about any effect of showing it and just show it, but nearly all the other countries would not do such a thing ever. But on the other hand, it is said that Turkish people are patriots. Isn’t there a dilemma? I totally accept that media must be free but is using this freedom against to your own country just fair? If they do not see the negative results fot this being unresponsible, then they must be educated well to be a good media holder; if they see and know everything, then the situation is much worse: They are not patriots a bit.
