Özet:

 Introduction: The media has prepared several news items about individuals with special needs. This news, with a positive perspective, can change peoples attitudes and behaviors toward individuals with special needs in a positive direction. Thus, this study aimed to examine the news published by national news agencies in Türkiye about the success stories of individuals with special needs using the document analysis method to change negative attitudes and mindsets toward individuals with special needs. Method: The study was carried out using document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods. The three most distinguished national broadcast networks, Anadolu Agency, Demirören News Agency, and İhlas News Agency, were scanned for success stories of individuals with special needs. The news items published between 2010 and 2022 were analyzed with content analysis and then categorized and examined thoroughly. In total, 259 news items from Anadolu Agency, 311 news items from Demirören Agency, and 66 news items from İhlas News Agency were examined. These news items were evaluated under the following headings: news agency, news type, country of publication, gender of the individual, type of special needs, institution supporting the individual with special needs, type of success, and source of inspiration. Findings: The findings showed that Türkiyes national news agencies published many news items about the success stories of individuals with special needs. The news items reached were categorized under education, business, art, sports, and social responsibility. As a result of examining the areas, it was found that most news items were prepared in the sports area. Discussion: It was observed that negative news in the media was found more common and more visible. Therefore, this study aimed to examine success stories of individuals with special needs. The current study showed that news items regarding the success stories of individuals with special needs in the national news agencies were published broadly. The news items investigated in this study indicate that special needs are represented positively in the media and reveal that individuals with special needs have success stories in the fields of education, business, art, sports, and social responsibility. It can be recommended to scan different news agencies or use different keywords in future research.

 Giriş: Medyada özel gereksinimli bireylerle ilgili birçok haber yapıldığı görülmektedir. Yapılan bu haberlerin olumlu yönde olması insanların özel gereksinimli bireylere yönelik tutum ve davranışlarını pozitif yönde değiştirebilir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmayla özel gereksinimli bireylere yönelik olumsuz tutumların ve düşünce yapılarının değiştirilmesi amacıyla özel gereksinimli bireylerin başarılarına yönelik Türkiyede ulusal haber ajanslarında yayınlanmış olan haberlerin doküman analizi yöntemiyle incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi kullanılarak, Türkiyede en fazla yayın ağına sahip Anadolu Ajans, Demirören Haber Ajansı ve İhlas Haber Ajansı haber ajanslarından 2010-2022 yılları arasında yayınlanan ve özel gereksinimli bireylerin başarılarını konu alan haberler içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiş ve kategorilere ayrılarak detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada Anadolu Ajansından 259, Demirören Haber Ajansından 311 ve İhlas Haber Ajansından 66 haber incelenmiştir. Haberler, haber ajansı, haber türü, yayınlandığı ülke, konu olan özel gereksinimli bireyin cinsiyeti, özel gereksinim türü, özel gereksinimli bireyi destekleyen kurum, özel gereksinimli bireyin başarı türü, özel gereksinimli bireylerin ilham kaynağı başlıklarında değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırma bulgularında elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Türkiyede ulusal haber ajanslarında özel gereksinimli bireylerin başarılarını konu alan oldukça fazla haberin yayınlandığı, bu başarıların eğitim, iş, sanat, spor ve sosyal sorumluluk kategorilerinde toplandığı, spor alanındaki başarılara diğer alanlara göre daha fazla haberde yer verildiği tespit edilmiştir. Tartışma: Medyada olumsuz haberlerin daha çok bilindiği ve görünürlüğünün yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiş ve özel gereksinimli bireylerin başarılarının olduğu haberlerin incelenilmesine karar verilmiştir. Bu çalışmada özel gereksinimli bireylerin başarılarına aslında ulusal haber ajanslarında sıkça yer verildiği belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında incelenen haberler, özel gereksinimin olumlu bir biçimde medya yayın organlarında temsil edildiğinin önemli bir göstergesi olarak kabul edilebilir. Ulusal haber ajanslarında yayınlanan haberler özel gereksinimli bireylerin eğitim, iş, sanat, spor ve sosyal sorumluluk alanlarında birçok başarısı olduğunu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. İleride yapılacak çalışmalarda farklı haber ajanslarında tarama yapılması ya da farklı anahtar kelime kullanarak tarama yapılması önerilebilir.
