Abstract

ABSTRACT While many studies examine Erdoğan’s growing control over the Turkish media sector, there are hardly any studies that look at how post-truth affects the low-income urban consumers of partisan media in Turkey, which this article aims to do. This focus group study reveals that the partisan media has a significant impact on the views and behaviour of the relatively less educated urban poor, but personal experiences prove a significant factor in the success of post-truth politics. If interviewees are locked into a relation of interest with Justice and Development Party organizations, particularly if they are recipients of social aid, their loyalty to Erdoğan and inclination to believe fake news from partisan media are stronger. However, when their personal experiences are diametrically different from the claims made in fake news, these individuals are harder to be persuaded by partisan media.

当假新闻和个人经历相矛盾:后真相在土耳其的局限

虽然许多研究都考察了Erdoğan对土耳其媒体部门日益增长的控制，但几乎没有任何研究着眼于后真相如何影响土耳其党派媒体的低收入城市消费者，这是本文的目的。这项焦点小组研究表明，党派媒体对受教育程度相对较低的城市贫困人口的观点和行为有重大影响，但个人经历证明是后真相政治成功的重要因素。如果受访者被锁定在与正义与发展党组织的利益关系中，特别是如果他们是社会援助的接受者，他们对Erdoğan的忠诚度和相信党派媒体假新闻的倾向会更强。然而，当他们的个人经历与假新闻中的说法截然不同时，这些人就更难被党派媒体说服。

期刊介绍： The aim of the journal is to establish a line of communication with these regions of Europe. Previously isolated from the European mainstream, the Balkan and Black Sea regions are in need of serious comparative study as are the individual countries, no longer "at the edge" of Europe. The principal disciplines covered by the journal are politics, political economy, international relations and modern history; other disciplinary approaches are accepted as appropriate. The journal will take both an academic and also a more practical policy-oriented approach and hopes to compensate for the serious information deficit on the countries under consideration.
