But, with the increasing number of the Syrian population in the country, interest of Turkish media towards the situation of refugees has also increased. This study aims to underline the news coverage specifically focusing on the image of Syrian women to answer the question in mind: “what does the image of Syrian women tell us about the gender-differentiated approaches of media?” This study uses citizen theories to emphasis the suspension of their rights due to their status as “not being citizen” or “not having a state of their own” while pointing out the gender-based discrimination as well as the refugee-based discrimination together. Therefore, this paper argues that Syrian women have been holding double burden as being both woman and refugee in Turkey and this burden to be traced in the newspapers’ coverage of Syrian women’s image.},author={Melike GÜNGÖR-- Özge ÖZ DÖM},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
