In the second period of Media Watch on Hate Speech covering May - June - July - August 2015, 461 columns and news articles and a total of 693 hate speech items targeting national, ethnic and religious groups had been examined.
In this period constituting the second four-month of 2015, it is observed that the number of publications featuring hate speech is significantly increased compared to the previous period. April 24 agenda, parliamentary election on June 7, 2015 and election results, Syrians who run away from the war and took refuge in Turkey and Israeli-Palestinian relations are the main issues that are covered by those publications.
In the first quarter of the year, it is found that Armenians and Jews were the ones who were subjected to hate speech most with 140 items for each group. Syrians have the second place with 87 items, while Christians ranked third with 75 items. The British, Greeks, Greeks in Turkey, Kurds, Russians and atheists followed them with 43, 30, 26, 26, 18 and 18 items respectively as the groups subjected to hate speech.
128 items, which consist of 109 items that were not included in the first part since different groups (women, lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and intersex / LGBTI ) are targeted and 19 articles that were already analyzed in the first part on the basis of the other targeted group in the item, were analyzed in terms of the discourse used. Both LGBTIs and women are targeted in 7 of these articles, thus the total number of items is 135, when the groups are dealt with separately.
