In the study, we evalua-ted two news papers Hürriyet and Yeni Binyıl announced to be in the first and eighth ranks of the most selling papers in the circulation sequence according to the data from BBD A.S. and Yay-Sat A.S., by examining 60 papers including their supplementaries in 30 days in April 2000. Budd scoring was used in the study, which was started to apply in 1930 in great Britain and, adapted by Dr. Ümit Kartoğlu in Turkey. In this scoring the news have been evaluated accor-ding to Budd Scoring relating to the page where they take place, the length of the head line as per column numbers, the rate of covering area in the page and the prolongation of the news from the top into the inner pages. Totally 161 health news have taken place in both papers. The average Budd Scoring has generally been 3.63±2.27, Hürriyet 2.86+1.91 and Yeni Binyil 4.38+2.38 respectively. 73.9% of the news have had the head line and content harmony, 59.0% of them have been correct and 41.0% have been exaggerated and incorrect. The papers could be complementary to health education when they are utilised correctly and properly, which is possible if the relevant people and organisations provide the press with accurate news punctually to enable the community to have correct information.
