ABSTRACT

Inclination of capital groups—which realize widening impact field of media-to media sector due to relationships

based on interests, and relationships/dilemmata between the governing parties and the capital owners have paved

the way for a unilateral media structure not hearing the voice of others/local people. It is seen that the main stream

media becomes more and more under direction of capital groups. Because of the effects created by the Second

World War II, also war and media relation has gain different dimensions. Together with this differentiation, a new

notion was born in the field of journalism during occupation period of the Iraq by the USA—Embedded Journalism.

This notion, called as “embedded journalism” in English can be translated as “yapışmışlık—attachment”,

“gömülmüşlük—embeddedness”, and “yamanmış—patched” in Turkish. In this connection, developments which

have also been realized in the media economics in line with globalization process as seen all other aspects of life,

changing of ownership structure in the media, and increase of concentrations, monopolization will be scrutinized in

our study in addition how the fact of embedded journalism has affected the most important mission of journalism,

objectivity within the framework of relations between journalism and government.
