Hrant Dink Foundation has been conducting the project titled “Media Watch on Hate Speech” since 2009. This study, which launched with the purpose of drawing attention to the discriminatory language against ethnic and religious identities, sexist and homophobic discourse and news containing hate speech, and contributing to reduce the use of hate speech in media, aims to generate knowledge on the concept of “hate speech”, create a platform for discussing the methods for combating discriminatory and racist discourse, and promote the use of a more respectful and informed language in terms of human rights and minorities.
Media watch report covering the January-April 2017 period and including quantitative and qualitative analyses of instances of hate speech against national, ethnic and religious identities is published.
