Özet:

 In the Ottoman Empire, the Turkish press began to emerge only in the early nineteenth century with magazines and newspapers. The first newspaper Takvim-i Vekayi was published in 1831. The aim of this newspaper was to convey the innovations made by the state to the public. While the state was calculating a public opinion that it would create under its own control, the situation began to reverse after the 1860s and the political and financial situation of the state began to be questioned through the increasing number of newspapers and began to be used as a serious means of opposition against the Porte. The intellectuals of the Tanzimat period and important personalities of the period began to express what they wanted to say by using the press and newspapers. The New Ottomans, the most important intellectual group of this period, and Ziya Pasha, a member of this group, came to the forefront with their opposition. Ziya Pasha was kept away from Istanbul by Ali Pasha due to the pressure he faced from the Porte. As a result, Ziya Pasha traveled to Paris upon the invitation of Prince Mustafa Fazıl Pasha, who was exiled from Egypt with the change of the succession system in Egypt. With the financial support of Mustafa Fazıl, first Ali Suavi published Muhbir in London in 1867 and then Ziya Pasha started to publish Hürriyet in London in 1868. Ziya Pasha and Namik Kemal published Hürriyet together under the label of the New Ottomans. Their aim was to inform the public about the situation the Ottoman Empire had fallen into, the situation of minorities, the state of the finances, the arbitrary behavior of the Sublime Porte, the lack of merit, the increasing incidents of bribery, the debts borrowed from Europe, the situation of Egypt, Crete, Greece and Memleketeyn, and to raise public awareness. In line with these objectives, the aim was to save the state from disintegration by creating public opinion through a system in which the public would be involved. The articles in Hürriyet were generally opinion pieces rather than daily news. Especially on financial and economic issues, the newspaper became an official document by publishing financial tables and giving examples from the states annual budget. Here, Ziya Pasha criticizes the economy of the Abdülaziz period through the Porte. In this study, we have tried to explain Ziya Pashas thoughts on the financial situation of the Ottoman Empire by using the articles in Hürriyet Newspaper as a source.

 Osmanlı Devletinde Türk basını ancak on dokuzuncu yüzyılın başlarında dergi ve gazeteler ile ortaya çıkmaya başlamıştır. İlk gazete Takvim-i Vekayi 1831 yılında çıkarılmıştır. Bu gazetenin amacı devletin yaptığı yenilikleri halka iletmekti. Devlet kendi kontrolünde oluşturacağı bir kamuoyu hesap ederken 1860lardan sonra durum tersine dönmeye başlamış ve artan gazeteler aracılığı ile devletin içinde bulunduğu siyasi ve mali durum sorgulanmaya ve Babıâliye karşı ciddi bir muhalefet aracı olarak kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Tanzimat dönemi aydınları ve dönemin önemli şahsiyetleri söylemek istediklerini basını ve gazeteleri kullanarak anlatmaya başladı. Bu dönemin en önemli aydın grubu olarak anılan Yeni Osmanlılar ve bu grubun bir üyesi olan Ziya Paşa da yaptığı muhalefet ile ön plana çıktı. Ziya Paşa, Babıâliden gördüğü baskılar ile Ali Paşa tarafından İstanbuldan uzak tutuldu. Bunun sonucunda Mısırdaki veraset sisteminin değişmesi ile Mısırdan sürülen Prens Mustafa Fazıl Paşanın daveti üzerine Ziya Paşa Parise gitti. Mustafa Fazılın verdiği maddi destek ile önce Ali Suavi 1867de Londrada Muhbiri çıkardı daha sonra 1868de yine Londrada Ziya Paşa, Hürriyeti çıkarmaya başladı. Hürriyeti Yeni Osmanlılar damgası ile Ziya Paşa ve Namık Kemal birlikte çıkardı. Amaçları Osmanlı Devletinin içine düştüğü durumu, azınlıkların durumunu, maliyenin gidişatını, Babıâlinin keyfi davranışlarını, liyakatsizliği, artan rüşvet olaylarını, Avrupadan alınan borçları, Mısır, Girit, Yunan, Memleketeynnin durumunu halka anlatmak, halkı bilinçlendirmekti. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda halk üzerinden bir kamuoyu oluşturarak halkın da dâhil olacağı bir sistem ile devleti parçalanmaktan kurtarmaktı. Hürriyette yer alan yazılar günlük haber gazetesinden ziyade genellikle fikir yazısı niteliğindedir. Özellikle mali ve iktisadi konularda mali tablolar yayınlayarak, devletin senelik bütçesinden örnekler verilerek gazete resmî bir vesika halini almıştır. Burada mali konular ile ilgili Ziya Paşa Abdülaziz Dönemi ekonomisini Babıâli üzerinden eleştirir. Biz bu çalışmada, Ziya Paşanın Osmanlı Devletinin mali durumu hakkındaki düşüncelerini Hürriyet Gazetesindeki yazıları kaynak alarak anlatmaya çalıştık.
