Popis: The media's information and enticement functions have grown increasingly important as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The purpose of this research on the anti-vaccination movement in Turkey was to better elucidate the different types of arguments that are deployed by key actors in the field of anti-vaccination, especially online. This research has analyzed the anti-vaccine movement, particularly in Turkey. More specifically, the argument that is deployed online by the alternative Turkish news websites is being analyzed. According to the results of the study, it was found that the news sites do not agree even when it comes to global issues such as pandemics. It is searched that alternative news websites have adopted the discourse of anti-vaccination without truly basing their arguments on scientific facts.
