The media not only report news and content objectively like a mirror, but also contribute to the construction of social reality. In this regard, it can be said that the media play an important role in the formation of gender patterns. The representation of women in the media is also directly effective in placing these patterns positively or negatively. It can be said that the media mainly position women in line with certain and mostly negative stereotypes. Motherhood is an area where these stereotypes are visible as an important identity for women. The subject of this study is to examine the media’s ways of representing women through their motherhood identity. In the study, it was assumed that the media reflected the motherhood of women in ways that would reinforce the secondary position of women in society and direct women to consumption through ideal mother types. This situation constantly reproduces gender inequality and causes commercial logic to prevent social benefit. In the study, an answer was sought to see whether this problem disappeared when the media adopted alternative logic of journalism other than mainstream journalism. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine the differences between mainstream media and the presentation of motherhood in alternative media, and thus to reach an original determination based on positive and negative examples of motherhood representation in the media. This determination is concretized with the comparative data obtained by applying qualitative content analysis to the contents of the two different media organizations selected by the purposeful sampling.
