Abstract
The Karagoz newspaper which occupies a special place in History of Turkish
Press in terms of both qualitatively and quantitatively also has an enormous
significance in terms of Turkish Cultural History. As the paper has introduced itself as “Political, Humorous Public Newspaper” the criticisms on several public and political issues have been relayed through two famous humorous characters of the Turkish comedy, thus, it has been aimed to shelter behind social and political
tolerance. The paper, start with displaying ironical, satirical and humorous
approaches to the political, social, economic and cultural events of the mentioned
period, has gone out of line during the course of time, due to political and social
turmoil and pressure of the governing body that in turn has reduced the newspaper to
nothing more than a “rough humor” In addition to this, during its publication life of
forty seven years, all knowledge and comments contained within the paper as well as
Karagoz depictions of visual expressions and statements have evolved along with
social and political transition. All these knowledge and comments have been
amalgamated in this study have been derived from the considerable issues of the preand post republic periods, also those issues published in Arabic script have been
translated into contemporary Turkish to embody this work
