Sumario:Together with the multi-party life in Turkish politics, one of the important polarizations between the government and opposition was the creation of Motherland Front by the Democrat Party. In the picture emerging after 1957 elections, opposition parties started looking for ways for a fusion presuming that the government could fail if they united their forces. In response, the Democrat Party government declared creation of the Motherland Front in order to build a new political communication way over civil society to attract the non-party citizens and unhappy opponents. Although it was created with a unifying and integrative approach, expectations of the government did not come true but exaggerated and sometimes unreal publication of the instruments used during the campaign caused an intensive political and social reaction and the campaign failed in this regard. The subject of the present study is the process towards creating the motherland front and the activities of the said front. In this study, the conditions which Motherland Front emerged under and how a role and a function, it was expressed and how it was ended, will be discussed. We referenced the literature about the studies done on this structure and we also analyse the process all over the Newspaper Cumhuriyet which was known by its impartiality and we presented the current discussion and evaluation forms of Motherland Front campaign. Thus, ıt could been able to see an example, which was show that, the political actor’s discourse whose established this campaign, was different from the Cumhuriyet Newspaper which was included an intensive place to the campaign. This study which was conducted on the Motherland Front which we see as a political communication trial over civil society would contribute both to the political history and the political communication area.
