The first practice on health journalism in Turkey dates back to the 1830s. However, it was possible for health news to take place more intensely in the media in the 1990s. Turkey's first health medical newspaper Medimagazin’s publication life began in 1999. This would mark a new era in terms of health journalism in Turkey. On the other hand, the fragmented structure of the health system in Turkey has entered a restructuring process with the 2000s and it can be also said that Medimagazin has an important function in this process. Conducting a classic content analysis, this study examines Medimagazin’s publication policies under the light of development of health policies in Turkey. In this context, after the literature review on health policies, 885 news and columns published on the first page of the newspaper in 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, the annual number of articles, position on the page, origin, news sources, the mentioned people and institutions, the nature of the articles, the general theme and sub-themes was described according to the content analysis. The photographs accompanying the articles are also defined in terms of number and content. Thus, it has been associated with the content of Medimagazin, with certain milestones, developments in health policies in the country, at intervals of five years. In addition, meetings were held with the owner and editor-in-chief regarding the history and editorial policy of the newspaper, and their information and views were consulted. Content analysis findings reveal that the number of articles published on the first page varies according to years, almost all of the articles are published in an "anonymous" form, and the most frequently referenced news-information source is the Ministry of Health. The most frequently stated general themes in the articles are listed as "law, legislation, laws, regulations and regulations", "education", "economic, financial dimension, investment and marketing activities" and "administrative affairs". The prominent subjects in sub-themes are "health policies, systems, criticism and advocacy", "developments regarding drugs, licenses, draft laws", "general statistical data", "payments and incomes, wages". News is usually accompanied by a single photograph. The photographs used in the articles examined were found to be compatible with the news content. The articles examined mostly include "health professionals and their problems", "law, legislation, laws, regulations and regulations" and "health policies, systems, criticism and defenses". The findings reveal the difference of Medimagazin's understanding of publication towards health professionals, unlike the news on health in the common and local press. The findings also reveal the role of the newspaper, which sets the agenda in the country in the field of health journalism and affects the health policies of the country in a way, in terms of milestones.
