摘要：The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of “freebie acceptance” and “moonlighting” applications on Turkish Sports Media and journalism ethics with reference to the opinions of sports writers. Thirty nine sports writers who periodically write a column in a national newspaper participated in the study. The interview method was used in the study formed in the qualitative research model. The interviews made with the participants were performed face to face or on the telephone, recorded by a voice recorder, and put into a written document in accordance with the original. Because too many samples were selected, the qualitative data were transcribed into quantitative data. According to the research findings, 41% (16) of the sports writers emphasized that ‘freebie’ acceptance occurs in sports media, 43.6% (17) reported that it does not occur at all, and 15.4% (6) stated that it is not so common to be considered as a problem. In addition, 51.3% (20) of the sports writers stated that ‘moonlighting’ is seen in sports media, 28.2% (11) stated that there is no such practice, and 20.5% (8) reported that it is not so common to be considered as problem. It was found that code of ethics is violated in the Turkish sports media by freebie acceptance and moonlighting, which creates some problems especially in objectivity and accuracy in sports media. Key Words: Sports, Media, Ethics, Moonlighting, Freebie.
