This study aims to answer the question of what is the main role of journalists in foreign news reporting, do they objectively inform the public as independent professionals or only serve to the national interest while they are reporting the Greece - related news? In other words, this study aims to reveal whether Turkish mainstream journalist repeat the official discourse which determines the national interest or they digress from the official discourse and form their own discourse in stead while they are reporting the Greece related news. In order to achieve these goals the Greece related news published between 1994 and 2000 in three Turkish mainstream newspapers, namely Milliyet, Sabah, and Hürriyet, have been analyzed by using a method adapted from Teun Van Dijk’s discourse analysis. The study confirms that Turkish mainstream journalists are generally observed to prefer defending “national interest” defined by the elites to defending “public interest” which is a more civic concept when reporting Greece-related events between the years 1994 and 2000, and they were also tend to repeat the official discourse and abstained from digressing from it. Therefore, their discourse which is repetition of the official Turkish foreign political discourse caused them not to keep critical stance on Turkish foreign policy.
