The content of news majorly relates to the categories of security, internal affairs, foreign policy, democratization and economics. Specifically, the findings show that most of 162 news published in Hürriyet were on the affairs of internal affairs while the issues regarding economics were the least included ones. As for Sabah, it is seen that internal affairs was heavily dealt in most of 197 news; on the other hand, security was rarely focused. Besides, the number of favorable news was observed few compared to unfavorable news, and the number of favorable news published in both newspapers was equal. These findings suggest that the way the newspapers published the news regarding European Union and Turkey relations and negotiation process seem to have moved on operating the perception in negative ways, which may be based on the matter of democratization.

Background: Today, when the media is handled with a broad sense, it contains intense violent elements in the publications such as television, computer / internet, newspaper, cinema, video, billboards and posters. These elements of violence are among the most important factors affecting human psychology negatively. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of violent news and programs, especially on television, on the incidents of violence in young people and how they affect the mental health of the individuals and discuss the measures that can be taken in order to prevent violence. Material and Methods: Face-to-face survey method was used as data collection technique. The questionnaires were applied to 200 healthy university students, 109 female and 91 males, randomly selected in the Harran University Campus. Participants' questionnaires were interpreted by calculating frequency and percentages in SPSS program. Then, the Chi-square test was used to test the relationships between gender and visual media behaviors. Thus, a scientific article was created with the test results obtained. Results: When we assess the answers given by the participants in the question "Do you think that programs containing violent elements broadcast on TV are especially preferred?" 74.5% yes, and 25.5% no, have emerged. And when we assess the answers of the question "Do you think that the violence elements on TV broadcasts affect the behavior?" 92.5% answered yes, 7.5% no, have emerged. Conclusions: Although various legal regulations are enforced, it seems that these are not deterring to publishers, and the same danger is growing. Therefore, it has become compulsory for RT'K (Radio and Television Supreme Council) to take more serious sanctions, which will provide deterrence. It must be clearly seen that the media plays an active role in the marketing of violence rather than deterrence. In particular, parents should not leave their children vulnerable to the media. Everyone, especially children and young people, should be taught widely and effectively to understand the nature of the media while following the media. Especially when watching TV and internet, instead of accepting everything presented passively, it should be given the ability to act selectively, to have a critical eye, and to acquire the knowledge that many things presented in the media have a fictional quality.
