REFLECTIONS ON MATCH-FIXING IN FOOTBALL CONTEXT: A CONTENT ANALYSIS OF NEWSPAPER AS PRINT MEDIA IN TURKEY

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the themes of match-fixing news and to analyze whether there were differences across the frequencies of news with respect to match-fixing. A purposive sampling method was employed dates between 4 July 2011 and 4 July 2012 for content analysis. In this study a content analysis forms was composed of two parts. In the first part, various themes related to news comprised year, month, weekday, weekend and size. In the second part, the researchers investigated the news delivery styles. The news or the visuals of match-fixing appearing on the newspaper were coded as ‘there is or there isn’t,’ “yes or no,” and “multiple choice questions”. The results of this study, 58.1 percent of the news of match-fixing were published in 2011, 68.9 percent on weekdays and 24.1 percent of them were published in July. Fenerbahçe Football Club appeared once in the 33.1 percent, and 5 times in the 23.1 percent of the match-fixing news. While 45.4 percent of that news was reported rationally, in 40 percent of them, both rational and sentimental language was used. As a conclusion, it has been observed that the news regarding match-fixing considered to be unethical are commonly covered in Turkish media, but the issue is discussed on the emotional and rational basis
