Abstract
This study highlights the 2014 presidential election in Turkey to determine whether a peculiar representation was created by television news bulletins related to the personalities of political candidates. This study uses McCrea’s and Costa’s “Five Factor Personality Theory” to determine whether there were adjectives used in relation to the personalities of political candidates. This work has researched if the same political candidates were being represented differently to different audiences on different TV channels. As a result of the study, news bulletins on mainstream Turkish TV channels showed that the same political candidates were presented with different personality qualifications.
