X-Sphere Conversations About the Sustainable Cohesion of Refugee and Migrant Communities in Türkiye
This study focuses on Turkish citizens’ opinions on and attitudes toward refugees and migrants on X (formerly Twitter) between June and July 2022, a period of increased immigration-related news coverage in Türkiye. Specifically, we ask which sustainable-cohesion-related themes and attitudes prevail on the platform and how these discourses vary across distinct refugee and migrant populations. To address this, qualitative content analysis was condu…
Media Use and Affective Political Polarization: What Shapes Public Perceptions of Immigrants’ Deservingness
This study explores the connections between partisan news exposure, affective political polarization, perceived threats from migrants, and immigrant deservingness. Data from a 2018 U.S. national survey indicate that exposure to immigration news on Fox News is associated with higher levels of polarization among Republicans and Democrats, while exposure to such content on CNN is not. Additionally, greater polarization correlates with Republicans pe…
The Role of Legacy Media and Social Media in Increasing Public Engagement About Violence Against Women in Turkey
Evidence that women have paid the price of what has been labeled the 'shadow pandemic' is found in the increase in violence against them. The rates of femicide and lack of trust in the Turkish judicial system of the authoritarian government are worrisome. Protests have been made in the streets and through social media in response. Our goal was to determine the role of legacy news media and social media in bringing awareness of the femicide issue …
Can ‘the Other’ ever become ‘One of Us’? Comparing Turkish and European attitudes toward refugees: A five-country study
Since 2015, refugee numbers in Europe have risen to an all-time high. Despite the desperate conditions of most refugees, many European countries have been reluctant to accept them. We investigate how refugees are received in five European countries (Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Turkey) and the perceptions of the general population on these refugees. Our data were collected through face-to-face interviews (N = 2,649) in Turkey and…
The Internet as Mass Medium
This chapter argues that if mass communications researchers continue to largely disregard the research potential of the Internet, their theories about communication will become less useful. It offers a conceptualization of the Internet as a mass medium, based on revised ideas of what constitutes a mass audience and a mediating technology. The uses-and-gratifications approach presupposes a degree of audience activity, whether instrumental or ritua…
What is gained and what is left to be done when content analysis is added to network analysis in the study of a social movement: Twitter use during Gezi Park
As social movements relying on the weak ties found in social networks have spread around the world, researchers have taken several approaches to understanding how networks function in such instances as the Arab Spring. While social scientists have primarily relied on survey or content analysis methodology, network scientists have used social network analysis. This research combines content analysis with the automated techniques of network analysi…
Challenges of conducting survey research related to a social protest movement: Lessons learned from a study of Gezi protests involving the Turkish diaspora in three European countries
Research on social protest movements raises many complicated methodological issues. This article systematically explains the methodological quandaries the authors confronted when studying demonstrations and online and offline activism by ethnic Turks in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands in support of the Gezi Park protesters in Turkey. It explains how participants were recruited and surveyed in this complex and extremely sensitive environment…
The ties that bind the diaspora to Turkey and Europe during the Gezi protests
The Gezi Park demonstrations across Turkey in the early summer of 2013 offered another opportunity to examine the role played by social media in a social movement. This survey of 967 ethnic (Turkish or Kurdish) minorities living in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany focuses on attitudes and behaviors alongside uses of offline and online networks to make connections with others during and after Gezi. We investigate whether the respondents livin…
Methodological Issues in a Survey of Children's Online Risk-Taking and Other Behaviours in Europe
Survey researchers confront a variety of problems when interviewing children and these are compounded when the research includes thousands of children across multiple countries. This article analyses some of the pre-testing and cognitive interview data in the EU Kids Online study for the difficulties children had in answering questions related to risk, patterns of answers to the final questionnaire provided by the children, and the evidence for p…
The rise of anti-Muslim prejudice: Media and Islamophobia in Europe and the United States
The goal of this study is to determine the possible factors leading to increased anti-Muslim sentiment or Islamophobia in a comparative examination of public opinion in the United States and Europe. Secondary analyses of data from the 2008 Pew Global Attitude Project and the 2010 Pew News Interest Index, allow us to assess the role of religious practice, news interest and political affiliation in the attitudes toward Muslim minorities in several …
Do Turkish women in the diaspora build social capital? Evidence from the Low countries
Ever since Putnam (2000) made social capital a concept that should be mourned for its decline in the USA, researchers and policy makers in some western countries have adopted it as a solution to what they believe to be the failed practices of multiculturalism. Instead of preserving their individual cultures and traditions, critics would have them build social capital by bridging to people and institutions in their new countries and adopt the 'sha…
Why can’t we just all get along?’ The concepts that divide academics, policymakers and citizens related to the Muslim ethnic minorities in Europe
The oft-quoted phrase, ‘why can’t we just all get along?’ is a cynical reference to seemingly intractable conflicts of all kinds. Implied in the question is the idea that people stake out positions that can never be sufficiently modified to reach the goal of ‘getting along’. The impreciseness of definition and use of certain terms in discourse related to European ethnic minorities has resulted in a polarization of positions by academic researcher…
Development Communication: The State of Research in an Era of ICTs and Globalization
Through the technique of meta-analysis, this study investigates the scholarly articles appearing in peer-reviewed online and offline journals that address the topic of communication and development from 1998 to 2007 to determine publication trends in the field. The research was prompted by the sense that development was moving off the research agenda of most communication scholars. This seemed surprising in the era of globalization and it was dec…
A Bridge Across the Bosphorus: Returned Migrants, their Internet and Media Use and Social Capital
Relatively few studies have focused on migrants who returned to the country of their origin or their parents’ origin. Still fewer have examined the communication patterns of call center workers who live in one country but conduct all of their business in the language and culture of another country. Drawing on work by Portes and Bourdieu, this study treats the use of traditional media and the Internet and its relation to the bridging and bonding b…
The Only Person Who Cares”: Misperceptions of Mentoring Among Faculty and Students in IT Programs
Studies of women in education have long presumed a strong positive correlation between mentoring and the recruitment and retention of women in non-traditional fields. Within the information technology fields in particular, mentoring of young women who might have interest in IT has often been cited as critical to exposing women to the discipline, nurturing the budding interest in the field and supporting that interest as the women face obstacles t…
Reverse glocalization? Marketing a Turkish cola in the shadow of a giant
In the summer of 2003, a Turkish confectionery and cookie company launched a major television advertising campaign through the Young & Rubicam agency in Istanbul. The goal of the campaign was to compete aggressively with the market leaders, Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, by adopting some of the strategies used by those colas in dominating the world's soft-drink sales and reversing those strategies to suit the Turkish consumers. This study combines tex…
Embedding the Internet in the Lives of College Students: Online and Offline Behavior
The Internet is increasingly becoming embedded in the lives of most American citizens. College students constitute a group who have made particularly heavy use of the technology for everything from downloading music to distance education to instant messaging. Researchers know a lot about the uses made of the Internet by this group of people but less about the relationship between their offline activities and online behavior. This study reports th…
Confession, revelation and storytelling: Patterns of use on a popular Turkish website

Adopting a uses and gratifications approach to the web-based survey, to determine why the contributors to this website return so regularly and what uses they make of the site, the study adds to the limite…
The Internet as Mass Medium
could not have missed the news stories about the Internet, many of which speculate about its effects on the ever-increasing number of people who are on line. Why, then, have communications researchers, historically concerned with exploring the effects of mass media, nearly ignored the Internet? With 25 million people estimated to be communicating on the Internet, should communication researchers now consider this network of networks’ a mass mediu…
