Özet
In this study, news discourse on violence is examined through Michel Foucault's conceptualization of bio-power. Discourse on "abortion law" in two daily newspapers in Turkey (Sabah and Zaman) are explored through critical discourse analysis. The concept of violence understood as a violation is regarded as an aspect of refined violence practice and a reflection of bio-power. This study asserts that the power disciplining and regulating everything related to body and population is everywhere and it justifies and normalizes the violence through news discourse.
