Abstract

The study aims to analyze the features of media coverage adopted by Arabic-speaking Turkish online newspapers under study (Yanni Shafak – Zaman) in the news processing of Egyptian political affairs. This study is based on the media survey method using a content analysis form that was applied to a sample of 206 news on both sites, from September 2019 to December 2020, as this period witnessed tension in Egyptian-Turkish relations in the wake of Turkey's military intervention in Libya. The study is based on framing theory in defining the research problem and editing the questions and hypotheses. The results revealed that the conflict frame is dominant in the presentation of Egyptian political affairs news in both online newspapers, followed by restoring diplomatic relations frame, and then the Egyptian international relations frame. In their coverage of Egyptian political affairs, both online newspapers rely on Egyptian official sources in the first place. The topics of Egyptian foreign political affairs topped the ranks in both online newspapers, despite that they differed with regard to the news processing angle. The negative stance toward Egypt adopted by (Yanni shafak) is highlighted; on the other side the neutral stance adopted by (Zaman) appeared most of the time.
