Abstract
This study examines the contributions of popular science magazines in Turkey to STEM as a field and discusses science journalism's support of the STEM world. The study explores the rules and perspective of science journalism and discusses the contributions of this field to STEM and STEM literacy. In its discussion of the impact of popular science magazines on STEM literacy, the study encompasses magazines in Turkey that publish science journalism and popularize science, making it easier for the public to understand. The study's interviews reveal that popular science magazines deliberately construct gendered language to increase popular knowledge and awareness of this field. Finally, the study summarizes the goals for scientific publications and science journalism in Turkey seeking to promote STEM literacy: (i) preparing content that will strengthen the public's relationship with science, (ii) promoting the number and quality of scientific studies in Turkey, (iii) challenging political power to realize the role of science, and (iv) reducing fake news.
