| Summary/Abstract |
This article reviews political parallelism in the Turkish press from a historical and comparative perspective, covering the period from the 1830s to the 2002 elections. Overall, political parallelism in the Turkish press is at moderate to high levels, placing it together with Mediterranean countries, and there is no single discernible trend from higher to lower parallelism. The modernization explanation positing less parallelism with modernization fails to capture the situation in the Turkish press. There is more parallelism when ideological polarization in the party system is high, when coalition governments rule the country instead of single party governments, and when cleavage voting is strong. Number of parties in the system does not seem to have the hypothesized relationship with parallelism.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article sets out to examine the linkages between the media and politics in Turkey. It argues that, rooted in the world of politics from the outset, Turkish media has always been marked by a high degree of political parallelism. As regulator and funder, the state, making up the political majority, exerted strong control over the media. In the 1990s, the shift to a globalized market and the explosive growth of private broadcasting did not decrease the high degree of political parallelism. Instead, it enabled media owners to use their media properties to intervene in political decisions that have a central role in capital accumulation. Today, deeply divided into two camps, media is the principal locus of bitter political strife.
