Abstract
This chapter aims to make out how the orientalism that dominates and that reshapes the East as Western discourse affects the construction of Turkish image that is influenced by the new orientalism process, and how it has changed with the media. By studying the news and images about Turkey, it is purposed to analyze whether the otherization of Turkey in orientalist discourse that is generally established with different kinds of many bad images, expressions from past to now is still alive with all the images, discourses, expressions in the media, or whether it has started to acquire a different point of view in orientalism today, or not. In this study, it is possible to see the reconstruction of Turkish image and the general perception of the West about Turkey in the process of new orientalism that is reflected via the discourses, images, and expressions in the media by analyzing the news about tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean in the foreign press.
