| Summary/Abstract |
As the Korean War broke out in 1950, the decision to send a Turkish brigade to Korea was met with almost total acceptance by the Turkish people, although the opposition party criticized the decision-making process for not being legal. Among others, one reason for sending troops was to prove to the Western world the reliability and value of Turkey as a possible NATO member. This article analyzes the coverage of the outbreak and development of the Korean War, the state of the Turkish politics in 1950s, and the discussions surrounding the decision of entering the war in the Turkish press.

| 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 |
Making use of archival material and newspapers, this article argues that Turkish concerns over reputation played a central role for Turkey in the making of the post-War Turkish-American rapprochement. Both government and opposition parties in Turkey as well as Turkish journalists, diplomats and students who were studying in the United States waged a campaign to make Turkey appear to be a reputable, modern, and civilized ally of the United States. Establishing an information bureau in New York, trying to prevent the exhibition of American movies that misrepresented Turkey and gladly hosting American journalists who visited Turkey, Turkish authorities tried to give the message that Turkey was under the Soviet threat and deserved to be included in the Marshall Plan.
