THE BOMBING OF GERNIKA IN THE TURKISH PRESS

Abstract

The attack on Gernika during the Spanish Civil War was one of the most critical events that caused great concern around the world. After the bombing, the town soon became one of the symbols of the Civil War. The complete destruction of a defenseless town in a short time caused deep anger against Franco's forces and the states behind them. The attack attracted interest in the Turkish press, where the news of the Civil War was followed closely. However, in reporting on the attack, Turkish newspapers had to comply with the non-intervention policy followed by Turkey, taking into account the Press Law. Drawing on the news after the Gernika bombing, this study examines the extent to which the Turkish press acted in line with the Turkish government's policy of non-intervention in the first weeks after the attack. In this context, news and columns on the Gernika bombing in Cumhuriyet, Ulus, Tan and Haber were examined in the study. It has been found in the study that the news about the Gernika attack had limited coverage in Cumhuriyet and Ulus, which were close to the government. On the other hand, in Tan and Haber, it was seen that the news about the attack was discussed in more detail. In addition, it has been noted that a pro-Republican attitude was clearly evident particularly in Haber, both in headlines and columns.
