Abstract
As far as cultural interaction is concerned, Turkey displays a very dynamic
structure due to her geographical conditions, its past and present political turmoil. In
line of this dynamic acceleration, social change and transformation has always been
high. “Humour” attracts an important attention in this momentum of change as it was
always an important milestone parameter for societies to advance in civilization. The
Karagoz newspaper which is the subject of our study, has contributed to the above mentioned “ideal” in its own scale and has continued its life by sometimes adapting
a compromising line with the status quo and in some other times by adapting a mild
but constructive criticism to the governance of the country of that particular time.
However, whatever policy was geared, the goal was always to generate benefit; by
reaching to the level of contemporary civilization in the western norms that in turn
may integrate the society into the “New World Order” in parallels to the changes
taking place in the world.
The paper which has derived its name from “Karagoz Character”, by using a
clear language, engaged public into contemporary knowledge and information and
this in turn has enabled it to widen the scope of its influence. Hacivat and Karagoz
who were the established characters of irony were the major elements of the paper
who has reflected the daily agenda either in visual or verbal forms to the public.
From the first issue to the final; the newspaper has relayed its message to people
from all walks of life in a very plain and clear language with consistency. By doing
so, it has been noticed that, this newspaper has aimed to create or at least contribute
to creation of a society who is up to date, understands, thinks and criticizes and by
doing so, contributes to its own governance in intellectual dimension.
