Until recently, in print media, the subject of "domestic violence" has seldom been touched upon.But today, almost every day, we encounter a different type of violence in print media.However, the presentation, style, and the format of the violence in the media make the issue sharper.In this respect, pictures, headlines, and texts used in media to express domestic violence can harm the positive perceptions of the readers towards family and domestic communication skills.The purpose of this study is to investigate, using survey design-a type of qualitative research methods-how the issue of domestic violence including all family members was covered in print media.For this end, the newspapers with large circulation, such as Zaman, Posta, Hürriyet, Sözcü, Sabah, Habertürk, Türkiye, Bugün, and Milliyet, have been studied through content analysis technique; the topic of "domestic violence" has been investigated in terms of frequency of publication, type of publication, source of information, author, style, and detriment/benefit.The relationship among newspapers, publication frequency, author, and style; the relationship between frequency of publication and a constructive contribution to the topic has been calculated.
