The local press and local media of a conversation on the relationship between the faculties of communication and communication is very natural to start date faculties.
Local press in the 1860s to the present emerged from the process of the first examples of local journalism, often linked to political developments, followed by a course of development. The first, in the form of official local newspapers, local press in the Ottoman Empire, especially II. Monarchy to the freedom of private enterprise development environment, followed by local newspapers. I. World War II, during the occupation period and the struggle for independence, the people of the local press bilinçlendiren on independence, the struggle to participate in important functions that have been undertaken years. After the proclamation of the republic in the process of placement of the new regime, after the revolution, and one-party rule in case of rolling, local newspapers have shown an improvement. Multi-party period begins after 1946, depending on mobilization of the political environment have increased in number, the local newspapers. Which is close to the government of the Democratic Party to power in the local press during the portion of the known various props strengthened. In the period after 1960 the distribution of specific rules for the official announcements, has brought about a major increase in the number of local newspapers, the quantitative progress has not been reflected character. Adversely affected by political and social tensions in the 1970s with the environment, increase in number, took the local newspapers. After 1980, the period of military intervention in the economy due to structural changes and has experienced a pause in the development of local media. However, liberal economy and consequently the resulting new capital created by the provinces announced a special advertising potential, a relatively new and more powerful after the 1990s in some developed provinces has led to local newspapers. By the 2000s, few pages in the official announcements, local newspapers are traditionally produced using obsolete technology assets while maintaining the small cities and towns, provinces, showing the development of socio-economic terms, be produced by offset, multi-page, rich in content and in this context the chance to contest the national newspapers in the local The number of newspapers has increased.
When we look at the historical development of communication faculties in Turkey, Ahmet Rasim journalism school, who originally had the idea of opening is known. Ahmet Rasim his years in journalism and journalism schools begin to open up more recently emerged as a new subject of science and education did not escape the attention of journalists and journalism Rasim strongly advocated the need for the opening of school. Press law enacted in 1931, newspaper owners, editorial writers and directors of the general release brought the requirement of high school or high school graduates, based in Istanbul, opened a School of Journalism have been raised again, but this project in 1933 with the cancellation of this law have been pushed out of the agenda for a while . And finally, in 1948, Fehmi Plateau, Istanbul, Turkey's first journalism school, the School of Journalism has a private.
School of Journalism within the same year at a university has also started to open up the activities. Rectorate of Istanbul University, Istanbul Journalists Association, wrote a letter to President Sadat Simavi, too mention opening a journalism school and the "journalism of the managing for Candidate will be wondering, basing the increase, the sense of the rights to the wire, her economic, legal and social formations, but a journalism institution to knowledge may institute, "he said. The University Senate has decided to offer Simavi and a decision in 1949 established the Institute of Journalism, Faculty of Economics at Istanbul University. The important point here, the Journalists' Association is to lead our country to begin training in journalism. A similar situation took place in Ankara and the Ankara University Faculty of Political Sciences in Ankara due to operation of the members of the Journalists' Association School of Journalism has started training in the academic year 1965-1966.
Institutes attached to universities outside the journalism school in the 60s, opened the second half of the third special. These schools are still in this area is the basis of faculties of education. The first private high school of journalism, Journalism Academy in Istanbul Private was established in 1966. School, School of Journalism in 1963 as a continuation of special education activities of the Istanbul started. Devletleştirilerek Istanbul in 1971, this school of Journalism School of Economics and Commercial Sciences Academy in Istanbul with the name attached, the faculty in 1973 was a period of 4 years. Istanbul Specialty Journalism High School came into force on 20 July 1982 the name by Decree No. 41 as amended, and the Marmara University School of Media and Broadcasting connected. Journalism in the second private school opened in Ankara in 1967, "Capital Private Journalism School" stop. This school also devletleştirilerek in 1981, was transferred into the Gazi University School of Journalism. Founded in 1968 in Izmir, Izmir Karatas devletleştirilerek private Journalism School of Journalism and Public Relations High School in the year 1971 under the name attached to the Rectorate of Ege University.
Istanbul, Izmir and Ankara, then, was founded in 1972, Anadolu University Faculty of Communication Sciences. In 1992, a law enacted in contact with the faculties of high schools transformed the media. Shortly after the outbreak of this law, Selcuk University Faculty of Communication, education began in 1993. The number of communication education institutions in Turkey has increased considerably in recent years. Selcuk University, Galatasaray, Ataturk, the Euphrates, Kocaeli, Mediterranean, Erciyes, Mersin, Karadeniz Technical and Hacettepe Universities established in the communication faculties.
Communication faculties of very ancient dates, local media since the beginning of paths are often overlapped and has accomplished many important collaborations. Of course, include severe shortcomings in comparison to the co-operation with the West. Ragip Duran would like to quote at this point, I wonder how this contribution and the dialogue is taking place as in the West. In an anecdote in the book the author gives Medyamorfoz:
"England in the early '80s period, the Finance Minister Nigel Lawson's daughter, Sunday Times published an article on culture-art annex. The next day, the union stood up: 'This lady has not fulfilled the conditions necessary for daily newspapers had a signed writing stooge. If Ms. Lawson union administration activities that are necessary to publish writings will begin once more. ' 'The necessary conditions for a signed writing ...' phrase caught my attention. Researched and learned that I asked inquired, just as in England as in France, participating in training seminars organized by the union and the union without the consent and no one fulfilling a specific condition of a series of newspaper (free lectern, except for the discussion and expert writings) news on a regular basis , can not write comments, or article. First, you need to graduate from high school or journalism school. Agree or disagree with the basic journalism courses organized by the union after 6 months. After this stage, have to work at least 3 years of a provincial newspaper. After completing a 6 month internship in the union to come to the center of punctuality and accuracy yetkinleşme you to win again, at least three years to send a specialist publication. The next stage, the six-month internship. But then a newspaper journalist, a reporter broadcast nationally candidate can begin work as an assistant. "
There are three important points here that need attention:
1. Journalists who work in the press, journalism schools, requirements for graduation,
2. Duration of the internship to be done in the local press and the importance of the need for this internship,
3. Press the importance of unionization.
Almost all developed countries, the local press, unlike us, the wrong structure and sales, and advertising to receive, as well as a national press organization a competitive level. People okuyacaklarsa newspaper, the newspaper before they start their own cities and established a good communication between readers, many newspapers brings return. In Turkey, local press, the press widely seen to be extremely limited opportunities to compete, so to speak, under the local press, national and even global media harassment. There is no any advanced country in the world so many national newspapers, local media or national media sales figures sales figures are not great ... This is such a gap between the already sufficiently developed reading culture in our country, local media in many parts of the country faced a sale can be expressed by numbers in proportion to sales, and naturally this has been convicted of an organization. This is a relatively good air ılıklıkta similar to Turkey in Bursa, unfortunately we can not say all. Throughout the country the situation is worse in every sense, and unfortunately will get worse in the future too. I do not want to enter the problems one by one, but a report prepared by the Association of Journalists Bursa agree: the social security issue, the lack of technology, skilled personnel issue, circulation problems, such as paper, the problem has to deal with problems in the local press and local press in the country in general is far behind the reality, unfortunately, Bursa lives.
The other actor in the matter, As for the faculties of communication, I believe there is, in fact, many details have to discuss. Number of communication faculty in our country has reached 34, according to recent data. Sivas, Elazig, Mersin, Trabzon, Erzurum, Kocaeli, Konya, Kayseri and have communication faculties, and, most recently the new new provinces, districts ... Of course, these faculties are welcome to open where "communication faculties in Turkey," he said, it is also true of educational institutions need to be analyzed .... Here, too, present a very serious organizational problems; began teaching staff trained in the same way, until the prolonged lack of technology and enriched with many other problems ....
Therefore, communication between the local media colleges across the country that can not be said, unfortunately, the conditions of a collaboration to take place. Ideally, both healthy and collaborative applications organization to come to life, first I need to solve their own internal affairs. This situation is unlikely in current conditions. So soon realized that my thoughts and wishes and requests that the chances for the future was unlikely at this stage, by accepting a realistic way, if you want to let us go to the recommendations:
1. That can be done to raise the standards of mutual cooperation would be a serious contribution. I mean education level of contribution, of course. The work I did here today, journalists are invited to contact us or faculty will give lectures, or courses would help to raise levels of mutual responsibility to assume. I have to say a very clear and unambiguous manner, we also have much to learn from journalists ... In this sense, the future contribution to the Gazi University Faculty of Communication and journalists as much care about the industry, some of the lessons given by teachers as a professional journalist would be a pleasure to say that. In the same way as other communications faculties of both national and local press, gave a significant contribution to the education of professionals, we see some journalism courses.
2. Mutual respect, trust and communication environment based on the value of cooperation and organization, as well as the contribution of the faculty may have to give a more dynamic and realistic training. What kuramsız application, nor the intervention of the application of the theory is not sufficient for communication training, so close and right relationships on behalf of the rise of standards on behalf of both parties can provide important insights.
3. Contact schools, and this might become compulsory internship of at least one internship done in the local press, both the young people learn about the local press, local press as well as the preparation of future conditions of their employment of young, dynamic and educated to submit may result in a contribution.
4. Reciprocally printing plants, newspapers, provided the joint use of the faculties and studios, so you can follow more closely the local press, academia, students and faculty will have the chance to learn in person at these newspapers work going ...
5. Circulation of the two most important problems facing the industry and see that skilled labor. And readability for young people in a way the local press, as well as work on behalf of the corporation must be idealized. Unfortunately, we see tomorrow's journalists did not follow the local press, so it can be installed communication faculties of healthy collaboration, cooperation, sympathy for the students create a variety of campaigns among young people, and this will be reflected sympathy umulabilir circulation.
6. Joint projects can be developed. Be ready to communicate and interact with them to implement new projects to provide new. Gazi University Faculty of Communication and DIE project was organized by Federation of Journalists also shed light on future study in this regard. Implement the wishes and the Will equivalents, extremely possible. In the same way again, Gazi University Faculty of Science Light Media Seminars organized in collaboration with Ontario Association of Journalists is also extremely successful joint project.
7. Likewise, eliminating the problem of the diversity of the local radio and television programs, and encountered a lot of joint projects may be implemented in order to increase diversity, particularly the work of students may be included in the local press. In the same way in terms of journalistic practices, the local press from time to time for schools, the local press from time to time may set a precedent for the publication or communication faculties. For example, the Association of Journalists issued by Bursa Bursa Book is a publication in this sense is really qualified.
8. Correctly installed in cooperation with the employment problem of graduates of the faculty, substantially solved the problem of skilled labor in the local press ... As known to be the result of communication faculties açılmalarının so unplanned, paying students working in these faculties. Very little communication school graduate, working in a job training towards the issue. In the meantime, contact the local media is almost impossible to find a graduate school ... Local Newspapers named according to the book written by Mustafa Seker, California, but 24 of them members of the local press contact who supported the school graduate 364 ... Of course, lack of communication faculties in this case is a very effective role in the city, but Bursa is one of the most developed provinces in the local press, even a couple of figures we see that very refreshing. Exclaims a party business, the other party, but a kind of qualified staff in pursuit of a healthy marriage between the parties in Kayseri kıyılamıyor ... How much of the communications school graduate about 145 employees of the local press: only 6, 145 6! 197'de in Konya, the number 17 .... So think carefully on these figures and to be insistent that the time has come to implement the proposed solutions. Economic opportunities may provide the local press in many places, we see does not satisfy the faculty of communication. At that time employment, or rather come to the necessity of a healthy employment priority, the primary problem in the local press arrived at the same time point, ie, does not allow employment in a healthy economic structure ... come tıkandığımız point the most important step in solving the problem of employment, healthy co-operation established between the faculties of communication passes through the local press.
9. And most of all to the better functioning of democracy will be established healthy partnerships. Because democracy is essential for the local consciousness. Local media platform for local democracy and local freedoms. Local development and empowerment through the development and strengthening of local media. Impact of globalization is felt heavily during this period, even in villages, needs to take charge of the local press. Or getting one tomorrow tecimselleşen communication environment that is not our voice! Principality in the local press in the past phrases beyond the country's democracy is really important services provided to the public on behalf of the injustice done to check the reduction of public institutions and fulfill its duties and has acted as a stimulus for the important role played in the development of the coverage area. At the same time the growth of media organizations and the employment of many important journalists in the country, the press acts as a virtual school played an important role in the development. This mission and the task becomes even more important in today's conditions. Tekelleştiği increasingly common media, international communication in the centers of power in their favor and taken serious steps to organize the press on behalf of the non-capital position in a highly active communication environment where the importance of such an environment even more local media reinforced. Yes local media is important, but also very important.
We started a beautiful, beautiful finish, but I would like to live in reality, since the beginning of my speech, I emphasized a very healthy collaboration, often unhealthy, we observe that allow collaborations. Of course, the step of this cooperation and communication faculties as well as local media to throw themselves ... His biggest factor zorlamamaları Beyond these two organizations to focus on their domestic shortages, adversely affect the interaction with the outside. I was in communication faculties of education in journalism, both in theory and in practice I believe should be seriously questioned. Dilemmas that we face today Oralardaki an important factor in the formation of the problems ... In summary there are serious difficulties, and that is why it is not the expected level of cooperation. Again, I will never forget the local media of communication faculties that should not always be an area of önceledikleri to walk together. Communication faculties in the same way, the local press should be more constructive in contributing to the training sessions. Thus, being in constant communication and interaction on behalf of both the local press, on behalf of both faculties are very important benefits. This is also where our democracy, and will pave the way to the glittering youth who want to become a journalist ...
