Abstract
News is one of the most significant means that provides information to the public regarding the events that may affect them in modern societies. Especially in situations such as climate change, where its effects are felt globally and each individual must comply with the recommended measures, the news broadcast is of importance. The news based on the right sources and edited by expert journalists will contribute to the development of responsibility in this vital issue that will determine the future of the world. While preparing the news on this subject, many different actors such as scientists, artists and campaigns created by governmental institutions or civil initiatives, as well as journalists, determine how the climate crisis is expressed in the daily discourses. Therefore, the discourse constructed by the news frames also shapes the perceptions of the masses about the climate crisis. The framing of climate crisis news in terms of problems, solutions and levels of responsibility is of great importance both for the determination of individual and social reactions and for the realization of social responsibility and action. In this context, this study aims at understanding the content and production style of climate crisis journalism in Turkey in terms of the messages conveyed. The research focuses on mass media, which widely broadcast for the general audience in Turkey, and the news on the climate crisis in the online news sites will be analyzed in the context of news framing theory. Due to the fact that the online news is open to interaction and can be easily accessed by a wide range of audience, the news samples to be analyzed were determined by scanning online news sites.
