BIASES
Institution-centered framing: Turkish media coverage prioritizes judicial and constitutional mechanisms over firsthand accounts from families directly affected by the policy.American-angle preference: The specific impact on Turkish nationals and residents in the United States is absent from Turkish media analysis.Limited coverage of Trump administration arguments: The justifications advanced for restricting birthright citizenship are presented synthetically, without in-depth analysis of their legal scope.

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
