Propaganda model indicates that the mainstream press corporations have deep connections with the world of politics and business world; and this situation creates great obstacles against media independence. The content of propaganda model falls under the following headings: The size, concentrated of ownership, profit orientation; advertising as primary income; the structure of new sources; flak as a means of disciplining media; anticommunism as a national religion and control mechanism. In this study, the structure of Turkish press in the historical process is analyzed in the context of propaganda model. This approach shows that the topics of press’ structure and freedom of the press can’t be explained without evaluating press’ relations with the world of politics and business world. Consequently, it is observed that in historical process mainstream Turkish press corporations have had close connections with the world of politics and business world circumstantially. It is important to evaluate propaganda model in this study, as this model carries great importance to explain the problematic of freedom of the press that has becoming a current issue frequently.
