Donald Trump’ın radikal terör karşısındaki nefret söyleminin yazılı basında ele alınış biçimi

Abstract

Donald Trump, 2016 yılı Amerika devlet başkanlığı seçimi için aday
adaylığını 16 Haziran 2015 tarihinde açıkladı. Seçim kampanyasındaki
konuşmaları ve özel hayatıyla dünyanın gündeminden hiç düşmedi. Trump kampanya
sürecinde İslam ve Müslüman karşıtı olan nefret ve ayrımcı söylemlerini sıkça
dile getirdi. Bu süreçte çeşitli ülkelerde terör saldırıları meydana gelmiş ve
Trump’ın söylemleri için uygun ortamı yaratmıştı. Bu çalışmada ABD Devlet
Başkanı Donald Trump’ın nefret ve ayrımcı söylemleri, Türk ana akım basınının
konuya yaklaşımı açısından ele alınmıştır. Periyot, adaylığını açıkladığı
günden başkan olduğu güne kadar geçen süreci kapsamaktadır ve bu dönemde gerçekleşmiş
olan üç büyük saldırı incelenmiştir: San Bernardino (2 Aralık 2015), Brüksel
(22 Mart 2016) ve Orlando (12 Haziran 2016) saldırılarıdır. Bu saldırılardan
sonraki birer haftalık süreç Hürriyet, Habertürk ve Star gazetelerinin konuya
yaklaşımı bağlamında ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma gazetelerin Donald Trump’a
yönelik yaklaşımlarını ortaya koyarken, radikal terör konusuna olan
yaklaşımlarıyla ilgili önemli veriler göstermektedir.
