The history of communications studies in Turkey does not date back to very old times. Just
like in many countries, the field of communication studies in Turkey had contributions from the other
fields of sociology and a literature has been constructed based on these studies. From this point of
view, it is necessary not to ignore the fact that many intellectuals from different disciplines have
carried out communication studies on a field, which had not yet been named, decades before producing
studies specific to the field as of 1980s. Among the intellectuals mentioned within this context, Cavit
Orhan Tütengil’s contributions to the field of communication studies constitute the subject of this
study. It is considered that this study will make significant contributions to the literature by revealing
Tütengil’s unrecognized contribution in the history of communication studies in Turkey by looking at
his works.
