The globalization process no longer only affects the economy; it also affects and rather complicates communication and international relations. Today international communication has become an umbrella term that includes many concepts such as international public relations, public diplomacy and country branding. This study deals with international communication from a different angle.&nbsp;Turkish television series which have a remarkable audience in our country today have taken their place in the international market and have proved to be successful worldwide. Turkish television series are attracting a gradually increasing number of viewers in many different countries breaking viewership records. “Short-term return on investment, new communication technologies, Istanbul’s ‘magnetic nature attracting new talents’ and different sociocultural forces and policies are instrumental in such extensive spread of Turkish soap operas” (Karlıdağ, &amp; Bulut, 2014, p. 76). This success has turned out to be more than a mere export of a product; it is one of the prominent sources of Turkish soft power since it has become a promotional practice that introduces and represents Turkey. In some countries, research shows that this success and representation can be explained by situations such as physical and cultural proximity. However, besides Arab and Balkan countries (where this success is quite understandable due to the abovementioned reasons), there is also a growing interest in Turkish television series in surprising parts of the world such as Europe and Latin America. The scope of this study relates to the fact that Turkish television series have taken second place in export and international broadcastıng markets behind the United States and, hence, they should be considered as a product of cultural industry within the context of international public relations strategy.The main aim of this study is to examine the success of Turkish television series abroad, especially in the Latin American market, and to determine the possible results of this effect. It is no longer possible to see Turkish TV series as a simple form of entertainment and time-consuming habit; Turkish series broadcast abroad should be considered as a product of the culture industry or even as an international public relations strategy since there is no doubt that the long-term deep effects of Turkish television series being broadcast and becoming popular in different countries will be examined in the very near future. It is important to know what these effects will be, and to provide data on what to do in the future. The study includes in-depth interviews with Chilean viewers. The reason why Chile was selected for study is the fact that Chile was the first country to buy and broadcast Turkish television series and it still acts as a leader in the region today.The results of the research carried out within this framework contain important clues about the four variables mentioned in the research problem, aims and designs. Turkish series in Chile play an important role in the eradication of prejudices about Turkey in Latin America. They are also a source of information about Turkey. In addition, they could be evaluated in the context of international public relations producing mostly positive results on behalf of Turkey and Turkish culture beside the constructive effect on Turkish soft power.&nbsp;&nbsp;Undoubtedly, the worldwide success of Turkish TV series will have an economic and cultural impact on Turkey. The fact that Turkey becomes the second country that exports the most series around the world behind the long term leader who is highly experienced in cultural imperialism means that Turkey now has a unique opportunity to spread its culture and values all over the world. Thanks to the success Turkish television series have had, Turkey has the chance to increase its soft power, which is an important element of cultural diffusion. However, what matters at this stage is to succeed in creating sustainability so that the success and the positive effect can continue. Hence, regular measurement and evaluation, as well as the vision to improve, are highly important for the future of Turkish television series.&nbsp;

While being a Romany is depicted as ‘cute’, ‘fun’, ‘colorful’ and ‘dynamic’ in traditional media, these positive codes that are submitted are associated intentionally with ‘absence’, ‘crime’, ‘poverty’, ‘lack of education’, ‘lower class’ and codes related to deprivation. This tendency in the media exposes the problematic sides of recognition. The Romany identity, stamped with many names such as gypsy, lemon borer, snake-eater (Berger, &amp; Mohr, 2011, p. 107), is forced to adequately cover the parameters of non-culturality, anomaly, marginality and non-communality prevailing in urban markets as a form of congestion in the ghetto or suburbs outside the city walls (Wacquant, 2011, p. 11). So, the cute object of representation is the idea that an ‘Other’ separated from ‘Us’ is a meaningful construct within the boundaries of existence. As a matter of fact, when we look at studies focusing on Romany views, images and other types of representations in the traditional media (İlhan, &amp; Fırat, 2017; Posos-Devrani, 2017; Akgül, 2006; Dişli, 2016; Alp, 2016), there is consensus that this category of ethnic and collective identity is constructed between the slightest valorization of negation and the parameters of various levels leading to defamation and hate speech. Moreover, the representation power of the Romany identity is largely used by ‘Non-Romany’ perpetrators. This form of representation is the mediatic reflection of the ‘passive recognition’ that gets the Romany identity stuck within certain stereotypical criteria based on the dominant/ distinguished sense of identity in Turkey.&nbsp;This study aims to understand how Romany users, who are a significant vulnerable group in Turkey, phrase the negative/problematic and positive codes that they think are associated with their identity on social media and to read their practices of constructing ties and distances with the Other/Non-Romany through digital cultural outputs. For this purpose, we examined the compensation mechanisms, alternative socialization and self-representation practices designed by a group of Romany citizens organized under the name of Romany Research Center on Facebook, for some damages in their identities which have been reduced to the problem of misrepresentation in media and social networks. In contrast to the traditional media’s passivity outlined above, the possibilities of self-representation that social media offers to its users mediate privileged media and community schemes in which many disadvantaged identities can share themselves freely (Özmen, &amp; Keskin, 2018, pp. 535-536). This study was modelled as a digital culture study with a netnography approach, where it is assumed that there are several differences in identity constructions between self-representation actions in social media and traditional representations. This is because this action is characterized by the fact that the Romany are active/acting subjects who talk about themselves and others, and are not passive, spoken about objects. The self-representation here also includes a digital adaptation of the ‘self-determination’ concept, which is often mentioned in relation to the issue of minorities. As a result, a small-scale fundamental act of a people trying to determine its own destiny in representation is present. This argument is also important in terms of contributing to a new debate in which ethnocentric reducers are criticized.&nbsp;The distinction between ‘Us’ and ‘the Other’ is seen in the majority of the shares on the community page. In the discourses where ‘the Other’ is hidden, an anonymous feast that excludes, despises and insults the Romany is clear, but in clear speeches, it is acceptable to call ‘the Other’ by name: ‘Gaco’. Gacos, i.e. non-Romany, are defined and represented as those who often humiliate the Romany in the identity-based activities of the community, are unaware of Romany culture, use the Romany for their own interests when appropriate, use hate speech when talking about Romans in their daily lives or in special situations, and use a marginalizing language. As a result, identity construction in the Romany Research Center should be considered as a collective compensation and restoration activity rather than a ‘positive’ and ‘constitutive’ action. This is because the concept and the main idea of what is going on in this community has traces of an unrecognized justification effort. Although it is a Romany platform, a digital purification chain and evidence of innocence are aimed to be constructed against the accusations&nbsp;directed by society. What the Romany do in this community is to say that they are not as accused by others as much as they describe themselves. Romany users who get the chance to talk about themselves on social media show a reflex of socio-psychology of defense, which essentially does not allow them to express themselves. In the framework of the cultural production in the community, it may be argued that the Romany have transformed their own identity codes that are belittled by society into a counterrepresentation, and they have aimed to establish the Romany counter-image by expressing their problems in ways not available in the traditional media.

The prevalent use of social media or new media following the emergence of the internet has created groups of people and target masses that are in constant expectation of communication, a case which has highlighted the importance of two-way communication and the concept of relationships, and has also been defined as a paradigm change during today’s corporate communication process. In this way, target groups that have passive roles merely as message receivers in the communications based on traditional channels have come to be more active in the communication processes through new communication methods. Where the concept of relationship and two-way communication have come forth and gained importance, the concept of feedback and the use of feedback in establishing two-way communication have become crucial. For this reason, the concept of feedback, analysed through the document analysis method, is usually defined as “reply” and “respond” in Turkish literature. However, it has become evident that this definition is insufficient in a literature review of the foreign origins, for which reason this study is intended to redefine the concept and conceptualize it by dividing it into categories as regards their uses.As a result of the studies and reviews in literature in Turkish and other languages made for this purpose, the concept of “feedback” has been simply redefined as an “evaluation of replies and responses”. Also, the types of its uses are listed as reactional and indefinite, interactive, purposeful, and immediately-delayed feedbacks; with regards to its characteristics, they are explained as establishing the two-way state, being definitive, acting as a control mechanism, being informative, and establishing trust, while its limitations are ineffectiveness in listening, egocentrism, being in the defensive mode, and regarding it as a waste of time.The purpose of these parts, where the uses of feedback are conceptualized, is to explain the reasons why the concept of feedback defined as “reply” and “respond” in Turkish literature is insufficient and how it should be used. In this regard, when feedback is redefined as the “receiver’s evaluation of the messages sent”, it creates reflective (spontaneous) feedback based on reflexive and indefinite feedback as a result of the literature review in which it is just defined as “replying” to the sender’s message. As there is no sense of awareness in this system of feedback, the difference between the message sent and the message received cannot always be understood and questioned. Therefore, the ambiguity in the messages between the two parties is not eliminated and fails to complete the task of feedback, thus falling behind the effective definition of the term. In other words, the communication process remains one-way. Yet when organisations use the interactional type of feedback, they attain the institutional purposes with the approval and collaboration of both parties by achieving two-way communication, being definitive, achieving the control of meaning and minimizing the misunderstanding. As a consequence, the organisations can develop long-term relations with their target groups by establishing mutual trust (Boztepe, 2014, pp. 1-6). Accordingly, they can gain the support, understanding, and interest of their target groups, which are the fundamental purposes of the organisations. The organisations’ success in reaching these targets plays an important role in their success in all other activities by them (Asna, 1997, p. 214).Consequently, it has turned out that organisations use feedback in “reactional”, “structural”, and “indefinite” ways, that they do not listen to their target groups, and even that they use social media tools which provide only one-way interactivity. One reason for this is that the concept of feedback is generally defined in Turkish literature as “reply” and “respond”, which makes the actors of corporate communication and public relations think that they do nothing wrong in their use of the feedback. From this point of view, in this study, the importance of feedback in corporate communication is emphasized and the term is redefined. Also, the study has categorized the detailed&nbsp;information on how to use feedback, aiming to contribute to the organisations’ ability to win their target groups’ support, understanding, and interest by helping raise awareness in the right use of feedback, which is a key factor in establishing a two-way communication.

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of attitude towards product placement on brand experience and brand awareness, and to reveal the mediator role of sensory, affective, behavioral and intellectual brand experience from the dimensions of brand experience in the effect of attitude towards product placement on brand awareness.In the light of this information which we obtained from the literature, the following hypotheses have been developed.H1 : The attitude towards product placement has a positive effect on the brand experience dimensions of sensory (a), affective (b), behavioral (c) and intellectual (d) brand experience.H2 : Attitude towards product placement has a positive effect on brand awareness.H3 : Brand experience dimensions of sensory (a), affective (b), behavioral (c) and intellectual (d) brand experience have a positive effect on brand awareness.H4 : Attitude towards product placement has a positive mediator effect on brand awareness from the dimensions of brand experience: sensory (a), affective (b), behavioral (c) and intellectual (d) brand experience.In testing the research hypotheses, parallel multiple mediator models proposed by Hayes (2013) were used, that in a single model which allowed to examine the mediator effect of more than two mediator variables. Baron and Kenny’s (1986) approach was used in the determination of intermediary roles. Analyses were performed on model 4 from the templates models created by Hayes (2013) by using PROCESS 3.1 macro software via SPSS program.&nbsp;According to the results of the factor analysis conducted for the product placement attitude, brand experience and brand awareness scales, it was found that KMO test values were found to be 0.60 and above, the sample was sufficient for factor analysis, and Bartlett test p values were less than 0.05 and these results seen that data were used for factor analysis. Factor loadings obtained after confirmatory factor analysis for all scales were determined to be more than 0.40. When the fit index values obtained after the analysis were examined, it was found that all the fit index values were within the required range. When the reliability and validity results of the scales in the research model were examined, it was found that the Cronbach alpha values were 0.70 and above, the composite reliability values were 0.70 and above, and the average variance extracted values were 0.50 and above. When the test results of the research hypotheses were evaluated, it was determined that the attitude towards product placement had an effect of 79.4% on sensory, 98.7% on affective, 92.8% on behavioral and 96.1% on intellectual brand experience. It was concluded that these effects were statistical significant due to p values were less than 0.05 or 0.01. The attitude towards product placement had an effect of 29.6% on brand awareness and p values were significant. When the effects of brand experience dimensions on brand awareness were analyzed, it was determined that the sensory brand experience had an effect of 17,2% on brand awareness and behavioral brand experience had an effect of 22.9% because of p value is statistical significant. When the attitude towards product placement is considered together with the sensory and behavioral brand experience variables, it is concluded that sensory and behavioral brand experience had a mediator effect on brand awareness and it was determined that the Bootstrap confidence intervals were within the specified range and p values were significant. When the Sobel test results were examined for the significance of the mediator effect, all Z test results were higher than 1.96 (Z=2.17; Z=2.56). Therefore, mediator effects were significant. In the last step, the effect of attitude towards product placement on brand awareness shows that sensory and behavioral brand experience has a full mediating role on brand awareness because the p values are of statistical insignificance. While the indirect effect of attitude towards&nbsp;product placement on brand awareness through sensory brand was 13.7%, the indirect effect through behavioral brand was 21.3%. This result shows that the mediator effect of behavioral brand experience was higher.

&nbsp;We can say that there is a mutual interaction between language and gender. According to Aydınoğlu, the issue of gender and language should be examined in two different areas: the language used by women and the language about women. Language is a reflection of society and it is one of the most important elements of culture. The indicator of every fact that exists in culture is found within the language. Therefore, giving different roles to men and women in society and power imbalances between the sexes have differentiated the language used by men and women. There are also differences between the language used when talking about men and women. The relationships between gender and language have attracted the attention of linguists who had a feminist perspective in language studies since the 1970s. Studies have varied greatly since Robin Lakoff, one of the first to work on this subject (Aydınoğlu, 2015, p.218). When we look at the studies that form the basis for the language used by women, the view that “the language used by women constitutes her identity” criticizes the earlier views that have been studied on this subject. With this approach, women’s language studies have been brought to discourse level and the how gender is formed through language has started to be discussed (as cited in Aydınoğlu, 2015, p. 177).&nbsp;In this work, the views of French feminist theorists, especially those of Luce Irigararay, on gender and language form the conceptual framework. Irigaray asserts that women have to create a language for themselves. She makes a significant distinction between speaking like a woman and speaking as a woman. Speaking as a woman is not only psychological but also social (Sarup, 2017, p. 176). Irigaray says that discourses have gender (Irigaray, 2006, p. 30). According to her, the differences between the discourses of men and women were the result of the effects of both language and society. She argues that we cannot change the society without changing the language and we cannot change the language without changing the society (Irigaray, 2006, p. 32). According to Irigaray, men do not rule the world together with women with equal rights. This is only possible with a language transformation and can be achieved by valuing the feminine species. The way women are emancipated is not by “becoming men” or by being jealous of men’s organs and objects. Irigaray considers it necessary to be a free feminine subject. Language represents the means of production necessary for this emancipation (Irigaray, 2006, pp. 73-75). Woman will remain doomed to be named and positioned unless she can develop what is her own. According to Irigaray, in order to break this conviction, women should speak and say what belongs to them. They need to find ways to ‘speak like a woman’ in this context. ‘Speaking like a woman’ is a speaking that does not need the presence of one ‘outsider’ or another individual (as cited in Aslantürk &amp; Turgut, 2015, p. 55).Commercial films, which reflect the social structure of the country, were seen as a tool for the necessary language transformation and formed the sampling area of this study. Within the scope of this study, some commercial songs of Nil Karaibrahimgil were examined in line with Irigaray’s thoughts. These commercial songs were determined by using criterion sampling, which is an intended sampling method.The aim of this study is to discuss the prospect of Irigaray’s philosophical quest concerning women’s language and to present some examples within this context. In the study, paradigms that form the basis of the qualitative research approach were accepted. Semiotics techniques were used in data analysis. In particular, Barthes’s three-level commercial analysis was taken into account.The findings showed that in lyrics with women saying only what belongs to them, valuing feminine species and that lead to a language transformation were present. When we look at commercial films both visually and linguistically, the strong female image that is attached to the main character is ensured by making the feminine species valuable, as Irigaray said. According to her, the path to emancipation of women is through the glorification of the sexes of feminine subjects and the linguistic species to which they belong. The language used by Nil Karaibrahimgil in these songs represents the means of production necessary for this emancipation. For example, lyrics like “I have both my ways, my words, and my eyes that speak, I am free.” does not reflect a similarity to being masculine but shows that women have their own words, objects, decisions and are free to act in this direction, in short, they can be like themselves.

With the spread of information technologies, especially the internet, traditional journalistic practices have been transformed, and the argument that ‘everyone can engage in journalism’ has become increasingly adopted (Gleason, 2015). Recently, an attempt to embody this argument has brought about forms of journalism that are described by newly constructed noun or adjective phrases (e.g., drone journalism), which are often difficult to follow since most become obsolete in a short time (for other examples, see Appelgren, &amp; Nygren, 2014; Carlson, 2015; Clerwall, 2014; Fink, &amp; Anderson, 2014; Tremayne, &amp; Andrew, 2014; Van Dalen, 2012). Moreover, this situation is not only specific to journalism. Today, when social relations are realized more intensively by means of technology, new occupations are formed around the activities where the rapidly increasing data/information stack is used as a production input and the outputs are exchanged, as well as around the skills required by such activities.This study, which aims to open the transformation of journalistic practices to discussion through professional skills specific to journalism, seeks to answer the following fundamental question: In an era where everyone has begun to engage in journalism using similar technological tools and ‘skills specific to the human species’, how do journalists themselves describe their own professional skills? The study also tries to find answers to sub-questions surrounding this main question: Do journalists, whose traditional mission is to turn social realities into news and present them to the public, see themselves as professionals? What journalistic skills are prioritized or considered non-functional by the current professional transformation? What kind of deconstruction do the components of journalism-specific cognitive and instrumental skills undergo? What skills do journalists consider that they have or should have today?&nbsp;In order to find answers to these questions, 86 journalists working in the print media were surveyed from April to September 2018. The questionnaire was designed with a total of 10 items and five options under each item representing the specific instrumental and cognitive skills of journalists. Each item in the questionnaire was related to a category of professional qualifications about journalism, and similarly, each option corresponded to a professional skill component associated with journalism. Since the research aimed at finding evidence of the change in the composition of professional skills specific to journalism through information technologies, the item headings were designed to reflect the stages of the professional transformation process. Accordingly, it was attempted to determine the skills that the journalists prioritized or pushed aside during the entry into journalism, for the performance of the profession, and in the continuation of the profession.Approximately 4,300 items of quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire were subjected to a two-stage analysis process: In the first stage, the data were coded in Excel to determine which professional skills related to journalism were strongly and which were weakly emphasized by the participants. This coding was useful to perceive the participants’ hierarchy of journalism-specific professional skills. In the second stage, the data were subjected to a qualitative analysis considering different stages of the journalism profession. Thus, it was aimed to reveal the extent to which the differences in skill components could be explained through the professional transformation.As a result of the analysis of the survey data, the following basic findings were obtained: The participants attributed the greatest importance to the selection of journalism in undergraduate education for the entry into the profession. During the performance of journalism, the participants put their instrumental skills into practice more than their cognitive skills. Lastly, they considered investigative journalism practices to have the greatest effect on their continuation of the profession. When the findings are evaluated as a whole, it can be stated that rather than treating them as an integrated organic composition, journalists tend to see the skill components of productive forces as discrete capacity elements limited to the performance of their profession which were sometimes utilized while at other times pushed aside. These results provide an insight into the distortion of journalists’ professional skills by the new division of labor division/ work relations activated by the institutional structuring of the media and the increasing use of technology, as well as help us understand the changes initiated by this distortion.
