The study seeks to unveil how Turkish nationwide newspapers represent teachers and theteaching profession. By this means, three Turkish national dailies (Hürriyet, Sabah and Sözcü)were included in the research sample. The sample was decided according to the criteria ofcirculation numbers, ownership and political stance. The period between 1 September 2017 and31 January 2018 was the nearest school term to the time of conducting the analysis. Therefore,the news items published throughout that term were included in the study. The news items weregathered from the PRNet digital news archive and the keyword “öğretmen” (“teacher”) waschosen in order to reach the most appropriate text material. During the analysis, the news itemsthat can create sympathetic ideas about teachers were coded as positive. News content with apessimistic tone was categorized as negative coverage. Furthermore, the items that do not havethe capacity to create any emotions or thoughts were coded as neutral. Under these categories,there are themes and topics. The newspapers of the research sample include different kinds ofnews items that can receive attention from readers. It was found out in the analysis that there isno meaningful difference among newspapers on the representation of positive news items. Mostpositive items tend to cover some useful activities and actions that are run by teachers. Sözcü, andin some cases Hürriyet, published more negative covered reports. These items often refer to somecritique targeting political power. Some negative reports have an offensive language andgeneralizing tone. This kind of style empowers the negative perception of the coverage. Inevitably,this kind of content harms the image of teachers in society.
