Research employs critical discourse analysis and thematic discourse approaches to uncover how media discourses maintain or challenge patriarchal and ethnic hierarchies in Turkey’s socio-political context.

Key finding: The thematic discourse analysis reveals that new media content in Turkey perpetuates traditional gender stereotypes through masculinity ideology, portraying women predominantly as body, persona, sexual partner, and wife; this... Read more
