Gazeteciliğin Doğuşu: Eleştirel Bir Tarihyazımına Doğru

Abstract

Özet
Bu yazı, gazeteciliğin profesyonel ve modern bir alan olarak ortaya çıkışını incelemektedir.
Çalışmanın amacı, İngiliz ve Amerikan gazetecilik geleneklerinin toplumsal, ekonomik ve
söylemsel olarak şekillendiği sürecin izini sürerek, basın tarihine yönelik liberal anlatıda göz
ardı edilen sınıf savaşımı, toplumsal denetim ve depolitizasyon gibi unsurların gazetecilik
alanının oluşumundaki rolünü ortaya koymaktır. Profesyonel gazetecilik modelini, devrimci
ve partizan basının yerinden edilmesiyle işaretlenen demokratik bir zafer olarak gören
yaklaşımlara karşı çıkan bu yazı, liberal gazetecilik tarihi anlatısının ideolojik içerimlerine ve
tuzaklarına dikkat çekmektedir.
Anahtar Sözcükler: gazetecilik, eleştirel tarihyazımı, profesyonelleşme, objektiflik,
depolitizasyon

 

Abstract
This paper delves into the historical conditions behind the emergence of journalism as a
professional and modern practice. It offers a theoretical debate on the conditions of journalism
by tracing back various social, economic and discursive formations of British and American
journalistic traditions from 16th to the mid-20th centuries. In doing so, it aims at developing
a critical historiography for journalism by particularly focusing on issues of class struggle,
social control and de-politicisation which are deliberately abandoned in the liberal accounts.
By challenging approaches celebrating “professional journalism” as a democratic triumph
over the displacement of earlier forms of revolutionary and partisan press, this paper discloses
the ideological implications and caveats of the liberal narrative of the history of journalism.
