The international symposium aims to discuss the interdependent relations
between media and politics. Despite the existence of different
approaches towards the effect of media on political structure, there is
a widespread acceptance on the assumption that the relationship between
media and politics is interdependent. Media, which can shape the
political power and manipulate it, have an important impact on the
political elites and decision-making processes. The interdependence
between media and politics which functions economically and
ideologically, while assisting in the reconstruction of selected
discourses in media, prevents the representation of counter-hegemonic
discourses, helps or makes the construction/deconstruction of political
elites difficult. Consequently, it will be misleading to assume that
these two fields could be dependent from on each other. The relationship
between these two issues seems to be interrelated and cyclical.
