摘要：The rapid spread of COVİD-19 Virus and its becoming a pandemic caused the world to take serious measures. Like all over the world, various measures have been taken in this context in Turkey. One of these measures is that the elders do not go out because the information obtained so far about COVID-19 infection has shown that some people are at higher risk of getting sick and developing serious symptoms. Among these people, the people aged 65 and over are often considered to be among the groups at risk by specialists. However, with COVİD-19, it is seen that the emphasis of elderliness in the society is drawn from the area ‘risky for the elders’ to the area ‘dangerous elders’. Especially with the curfew imposed on people over 65 years old after the epidemic, the elders started to face disrespectful behaviours and even bullying in social media and in everyday life. This situation is an indicator of various losses in their status and roles. Respecting and valuing the elders is one of our important social characteristics. Respecting the elders is present in the family life and tradition of the Turkish society because they are the most important link between past and future. In this study, how the elders are included in the newspaper news with the ban over the age of 65 was given. Content analysis of 16 news on this subject was done through the qualitative data analysis of Maxqda. It is aimed to touch on the changing perception of aging with the content analysis.
