Abstract

From ordinary local news to important global events, television offers interpretive narratives to interpersonal discussions that shape our understanding of social reality. In this context, TV and politics come together in all matters concerning the public. The concept of tabloidisation is used to present the politics that the society follows with curiosity in a more popular way. Tabloid journalism has turned into a form of journalism that leaks into different communication environments, especially television. This article attempts to examine the role of the politician and the TV as a media form, also the effect of them on society in terms of various cases as instances from the political landscape. By having several assessments on the picked instances with the help of some references, article aims to critically discuss the citation as "Popularization of politics and tabloidization of TV go hand in hand". Beyond these evaluations, article aims to reach some consequences related to the effects of this reality on society and opinion forming. The case study method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to make data analysis of the case studies that constitute the research area.
