and functions limited (Oxford Dictionary of English, 2003). Also, in this study handicapped concept was examined within the connection of disability concept. Media has three vital functions like inform, fun and education and a general concept which has visual and hearing vehicles. Because of mass media vehicles manipulative and vital effect, the presentation of disability concept in media has an important effect in Turkish society detection. When we evaluate the media’s role and effectiveness in our daily life; the mass media vehicles are not just basic transfer tools. While the mass media tools transfer or shape an exist situation or event; follows a path which seperates the situation and selects one event – eliminate the other events. (Özerkan, 2001:88). In the first part of article, first disability and disability types are examined. After that, media, presses media and as a mass circulation vehicle newspaper are scrutinized with a literature search and content analysis method. The last part of this article, there will be interpretation about the presentation style of disability in pressed media. Disability and Handicapped Concepts Disabled person is a person whose some actions, senses and functions limited. (Oxford Dictionary of English, 2003).There is a methodologic difference in disability and handicapped concepts. In handicapped people definition, the most attentive point is the insufficiency which effects disabled person’s life’s harmony in daily life. This description has similarity with the concept of movement, senses and functions’restrictions in disability definition. However, disability concept defines a discomfort situation that contains a mental or physcial problem. In addition to this problem, disability concept includes a movement limitation because of social and architectural barriers.

The Disability Concept in Media

The perception of the disabled people as unusual has created some streotypes which effects the presentation styles in media. This streotypes are direct results of the mythes that are developed by society about disabled people. The superior image in mass media vehicles is the disabled people are living a tragic and unsuccessful life. The only way to continue a normal life; is having superhuman ability and power. These beliefs conclude two fundemantal presentation ways: victim and hero.We can classify the streotypes about disabled people in mass circulation media:

• Miserable disabled people • Disabled people who are in the center of violence • Inauspicious and sinful disabled people • The people who support the subject and trinket disabled people • People who have super abilities • The disabled people as deriding objects • The disabled people who feel pity for themselves • The disabled people who feel as burdens • The unusual people in sexual view • The unadequate people in social integration • Normal Disabled people . (ÖZİDA, 2011)

Every year in 3 December date, there are organizations about World Disability Day all world. This year, Media Following Center published a report about the presentation ways about disability for the denotation and importance of World Disability Day. The report was prepared according to local, national newspapers, TV channels and internet scrutiny about disability concept.

According to this research results, the media vehicle which feature to disabled people is mostly newspapers.

CONCLUSION  

Hurriyet took the first rank with the number of news at the survey Center of Media Tracking, but in our research, the newspaper Hurriyet took the last rank with the numbers of news

The survey of Ozida, 2003 - 2006 between the research examined, we see that the first rank in the distribution of the subjects of news reports is culture and art. In our study which is between months of November and December of 2011, everyday life news ranks first, culture and art news ranks second. This situation shows us that there isn't a great change with the distribution of subject of news media's presentation of the disabled within five years.

When we look at the news about the disability concept in November 15- December 15 2011, the week of The World Disabled Day has the biggest numbers of news. In news, there is accretion of the disability news in the week that includes the World Disabled Day. In the following week the news numbers about disability gradually decrease. This shows that the mass media vehicles makes disability news densely in special days and weeks.

When we look the distribution of news about disability from November to December 2011, we can see that the number of positive news is much more and the image of the hero intensively are used.

Newspapers have subjective evaluation of the presentation of disability. Zaman indicates a high rate of disability news which the disabled person himself/herself or the relatives share their ideas and news distribution style has been found that more space is first-hand sources. This data shows that the newspaper Zaman has provided disabled people more opportunities to express themselves.

Disability concept is used as a side element in most news in Sabah. There is not any news from news agencies in this newspaper about disabled people. This situation had taken over the newspaper Sabah, disability is an indication of the subject along with other topics.

The distribution of subjects are limited according to the other newspapers in Hurriyet. However, the usage of celebrity on news in the newspaper Hurriyet is more than the other newspapers. That shows us that, the newspaper Hurriyet densely uses magazine items on disabled news.

In the newspaper Haberturk, we can read a lot of news about disabled, but in details of the news they give their corporate opinions and explanations about the news rather than the opinion of the disabled people. According to these findings, the presentation style of disabled concept was not given from the angle of disabled person, but from the angle of charitable corporation.

Page 21: RESEARCH ABOUT PRESENTATION WAY OF NEWS ABOUT …akademikpersonel.kocaeli.edu.tr/benan.dondurucu/bildiri/benan... · research about presentation way of news about disabled people

In Posta, the usage of photo not about disabled ranked first. We can say that, in the topic about disabled people, Posta gives less place to the photos of the disabled people. In addition, at Posta, the celebrity usage is not so high. This finding indicates us that, Posta does not densely use magazine items on disabled news.
