Antalya is a destination favoured by the citizens of the Russian Federation not
only for tourism but also for settlement in Turkey. As the Russian tourist and
resident population increases in number, the interest of the Antalya local media
to Russians increases too. In this study, we examine how Russians are portrayed
in Antalya local media by employing quantitative and qualitative methods.
Russian representations in two local online newspapers were analysed using the
content and frame analysis methodologies. The findings reveal that the number
of stories presentation of Russians have increased over the historical process.
The sentiments for the Russians were generally positive in the news stories.
In addition, Russians were framed mostly as tourists, residents and artistsathletes. It is concluded that Antalya local media use an attentive language for
representing the Russians in the news stories.
