Mythicizing the student movement and the leaders of the 1960s in the media has increased and widespread, especially after 1990s. It is possible to say that reflection of the increasing commercialization and magazinization of the media depending on the changing ownership structures to the media contents has a significant impact on this situation. Deniz Gezmiş who is the student movement leader of the 1960s’ is one of names that come to mind first and has been exposed to mythicizing the most. In this study, the news and the columns in 8 newspapers were examined in 10-year periods from the date of the execution of Deniz Gezmiş according to the Mitchell’s images family tree in order to understand the mythicizing practices of the news media. The mythicizing methods and strategies were tried to be explained through analysis of the news and columns and the metaphors passing in them.
