However, the news framework that the media often frames through problems is criticized, and there is a suggestion that the news should also include solutions. Solution journalism, which emerged from this point of view, covers an understanding of journalism that includes solution proposals as well as expressing the problems experienced by the society. This study examines the economic news in the Turkish media from the perspective of solution journalism and analyzes how the economic problems are framed through quantitative and qualitative content analysis. When the way in which the five printed newspapers (Hürriyet, Milliyet, Sözcü, Sabah, Cumhuriyet), whose websites are the most clicked on, cover the economy is evaluated, it is not possible to discuss solution journalism with qualified and sufficient solutions. The fact that newspapers cover economic problems from a political perspective is seen as the biggest obstacle to solution journalism. In addition, the findings of the research show that newspapers do not behave with the consciousness and awareness of solution journalism even in news items that offer solutions.

In order to prevent this crisis, a negotiation process was needed to bring the parties together, and the Grain Agreement was signed with the diplomatic initiatives of the UN and Turkey. This study analyzes how Turkey's public diplomacy strategy was viewed by the media during the signing and extension of the agreement and what role it played in the realization of the agreement. The study comparatively analyzes the news produced by the media of different countries and TRT World on the agreement through critical discourse analysis method and aims to make determinations about Turkey's public diplomacy. The data obtained in the study reveals that Turkey has been attributed a key role in the agreement processes in the media of different countries, while it remains unclear whether it will maintain this role in the future. Also, while different country media emphasized Turkey in the agreement, TRT World's approach that prioritizes the government, and the leader is noteworthy. While the international media is cautious about the future of the agreement, TRT World does not go beyond praising the diplomatic success of the government.

Humanity has been dealing with problems such as climate crisis, epidemics, hunger, drought, migration and war, and instead of solving these problems, they have aggravated them. These crises prevent the sustainability of societies in a healthy and safe manner and can threaten the future of the planet. As such, the news media has important duties in understanding the problems, revealing their causes and solving them. However, journalism’s own sustainability problems in the current ecosystem (the political economy perspective caused by commercialization, tabloidization, hate speech, loss of income, environmental unsustainability) have reached serious dimensions. In this context, a new understanding of journalism (sustainable journalism) has been put forward to make both society and journalism sustainable. Therefore, this study tests the extent to which sustainable journalism is possible in today’s media ecology and social order through a literature review. According to the findings, journalism, with its deficiencies and inadequacies, has not reached a sustainable dimension in today’s conditions, and it seems difficult to do so in the near future. It has been determined that the deficiencies in journalistic practice, environmental-friendly news production, environmental journalism and creating revenue models have not been eliminated. However, it should be noted that the environmental, economic and journalistic initiatives in the field of sustainability are noteworthy.

The news media has an important responsibility in reducing the damage caused by natural disasters and informing the society correctly. It is controversial how successful the news media are in science-based disaster reporting that considers the public interest. In this context, in the study, the news (n: 3329) produced by the newspapers, which adopted different editorial attitudes in the Turkish media, about the earthquake in Kahramanmaraş, was analyzed with the qualitative and quantitative content analysis method within the framework of disaster journalism. The findings of the study showed that the Turkish media evaluated the earthquake from a political and emotional point of view. However it is understood that the Turkish media could not carry out qualified disaster journalism about the earthquake, and revealed that it adopted a disaster-oriented approach rather than a scientific and in-depth understanding.

In particular, chemicals and biotechnology used in agricultural production jeopardize food safety and health. In addition, the climate crisis negatively affects agriculture, which is the most basic need of humanity, and causes future generations to face threats such as famine, drought and hunger. At this point, it becomes clear how important agricultural journalism is in the healthy, efficient and sustainable performance of agricultural production. This study aims to discuss the current situation, problems and solution proposals of the phenomenon of agricultural journalism, which is a very limited research area, in the global arena through a literature review method and also aims to make determinations regarding agricultural journalism. The findings of the study show that agricultural journalism is particularly strong and widely practiced in the USA. In India, although it is widely practiced, there are qualitative problems.
However, it is concluded that agricultural journalism is shadowed by fields such as economy and politics in the entire global arena and is not practiced in a qualified manner due to political economy priorities and technical inadequacies. In Turkey, on the other hand, it is determined that agricultural journalism suffers from both quantity and quality problems, and that the agricultural field is quite inadequate in terms of specialization in the mainstream and the creation of independent desks, except for thematic outlets.

It is known that negativities, surprising developments, wars and deaths are intensely presented in the news bulletins. The dominance of negative developments in the field of journalism can also negatively affect news consumers, causing individuals to have a hopeless perspective on the world's vision. Constructive journalism that emerges with the help of positive psychology techniques to tolerate the negativity in the news ecosystem, represents an understanding that includes positive developments and solutions in the news. In this study, it is mentioned what constructive journalism is, how it is carried out, the differences it brings to the field of journalism, its relationship with positive psychology and examples in the global field. In the study, which is handled through literature review, it is thought that constructive journalism is solution and future-oriented, conveys the world and events in all aspects, and persuades the society to take positive action by including the reader in the news. It has been determined that constructive journalism has become widespread both academically and practically, especially in Europe and the USA. In Turkey, on the other hand, it is seen that no news organization has taken a special attempt for constructive journalism, except for minor news. In addition, it is determined that constructive journalism is not a development that can radically change the focus of journalism, but an approach that completes the
traditional journalism.

More research is needed on the way of performing podcast journalism, a quite new field of journalism in Turkey, its contribution to the field, its place in the journalism economy, and its future. This study, intending to deal with the quality of podcast broadcasts and their relationship with journalism, aims to map the field of podcast journalism in Turkey by making structured interviews with broadcasters who do journalism with podcast broadcasts. In the study, structured interviews with podcast publishers in organizations such as Açık Radyo, Aposto News, Medyapod, Dünya Podcast, Medyascope, TRT, Anadolu Ajansı, and Kısa Dalga are analyzed by descriptive analysis method and the data obtained are revealed. With the data obtained in the study, it is determined that podcast broadcasting offers alternative broadcasting to the mainstream media by providing convenience in terms of access to journalism and a cheap and free journalism opportunity for broadcasters. While it is observed that podcast journalism has just become widespread in Turkey, it is asserted that this originates from the lack of podcast knowledge, the absence of a clear profile of listeners, and the insufficiency of earnings obtained from podcast journalism. Thus, it is considered that the income generated through podcast journalism is lower in Turkey than in the US and Europe; however, it is reported that it is open to improvement.

Bu paylaşımlar aynı zamanda diasporalar ve onların yaşadığı ülkelerle olan ilişkileri de kuvvetlendirmekte ve devletlerin uluslararası alandaki imajına olumlu bir katkı sunmaktadır. Bu amaçla Türk Hükümeti de yurtdışında yaşayan vatandaşları ile etkileşim sağlayarak onlar nezdinde bir kamu diplomasisi oluşturmaktadır. Yeni iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmelerle birlikte kamu diplomasisi faaliyetlerinin dijital mecralarla da yürütüldüğü görülmektedir.

In this direction, technological developments not only transform existing journalism practices, but also reveal new types of journalism. Introduced as a new type of journalism, podcast broadcasts, are becoming increasingly common today, and quality journalism examples are presented through broadcasts. More research is needed on the way of performing podcast journalism, a quite new field of journalism in Turkey, its contribution to the field, its place in the journalism economy, and its future. This study, intending to deal with the quality of podcast broadcasts and their relationship with journalism, aims to map the field of podcast journalism in Turkey by making structured interviews with broadcasters who do journalism with podcast broadcasts. In the study, structured interviews with podcast publishers in organizations such as Açık Radyo, Aposto News, Medyapod, Dünya Podcast, Medyascope, TRT, Anadolu Ajansı, and Kısa Dalga are analyzed by descriptive analysis method and the data obtained are revealed. With the data obtained in the study, it is determined that podcast broadcasting offers alternative broadcasting to the mainstream media by providing convenience in terms of access to journalism and a cheap and free journalism opportunity for broadcasters. While it is observed that podcast journalism has just become widespread in Turkey, it is asserted that this originates from the lack of podcast knowledge, the absence of a clear profile of listeners, and the insufficiency of earnings obtained from podcast journalism. Thus, it is considered that the income generated through podcast journalism is lower in Turkey than in the US and Europe; however, it is reported that it is open to improvement.

Bu paylaşımlar aynı zamanda diasporalar ve onların yaşadığı ülkelerle olan ilişkileri de kuvvetlendirmekte ve devletlerin uluslararası alandaki imajına olumlu bir katkı sunmaktadır. Bu amaçla Türk Hükümeti de yurtdışında yaşayan vatandaşları ile etkileşim sağlayarak onlar nezdinde bir kamu diplomasisi oluşturmaktadır. Yeni iletişim teknolojilerinde yaşanan gelişmelerle birlikte kamu diplomasisi faaliyetlerinin dijital mecralarla da yürütüldüğü görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Yurtdışı Türkler ve Akraba Topluluklar Başkanlığı (YTB)'nin 28 Ağutsos 2019-28 Eylül 2019 tarihleri arasındaki gönderileri örneklem olarak ele alınmakta ve çalışma Türk Hükümetinin diasporaları ile nasıl bir dijital kamu diplomasisi süreci yürüttüğünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kamu diplomasisi sürecinin incelenmesi, Türkiye'nin diasporası adına yaptığı dijital diplomasi faaliyetlerinin tespiti üzerine ipuçları sağlamada ve bundan sonraki dijital diplomasi süreçlerinde atılacak adımlar konusunda yol gösterici olması açısından önem taşımaktadır. İçerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenen çalışma, günümüze kadar ele alınan kamu diplomasisi çalışmalarından farklı olarak YTB'yi bir dijital mecra üzerinden diaspora diplomasisi ekseninde ele almaktadır. Çalışma neticesinde elde edilen bulgularda YTB'nin, Türk dili, kültürü ve İslam geleneklerinin yaşatılması için Twitter aracılığıyla sunduğu içeriklerde diasporası ile güçlü bir bağ kurmaya çalıştığı saptanmaktadır.

Antroposen çağ doğal kaynakların hızla tükenmesini ve kirlenmesini beraberinde getirmiş, gezegeni yavaş yavaş yok olmaya terk etmiştir. Böylesi bir tehlikeyi önlemenin ilk yolu sorunun ciddiyetini, ekonomik, siyasi ve toplumsal yönleriyle bütüncül bir biçimde aktarmaktan geçmektedir. Medyadan, çevre sorunlarını bilimsel bir temelde topluma sunması, çevresel bilincin oluşmasında rol alması beklenmektedir. Ancak medyanın içinde bulunduğu ekosistem, çevre sorunlarının kamu yararı gözeten, bilimsel ve çözümcü bir perspektifte ele alınmasını zorlaştırmıştır.
Bu kitapta, çevre haberciliğinin “neden nitelikli bir tutum sergileyemediği” sorusuna yanıt aranmış, nitelikli bir çevre haberciliği yürütülmesinde yaşanan sorunlar incelenmiştir. Çevre haberciliğinin küresel alanda ve Türkiye’deki uygulama örneklerine değinilmiş, tarihsel izlek çerçevesinde mukayeseli bir tespit ortaya konmuştur. Kitap, kalıcı ve istikrarlı bir performans sergileyemeyen çevre haberciliğinin ne tür önerilerle geliştirilebileceği üzerine kafa yormuş, “nesli tükenmemesi gereken bir gazetecilik türü” olduğunu gün yüzüne çıkarmıştır.
