Dani Rodrik & Pinar Dogan blog campaign — systematic corpus analysis (2010–2021)
Posts per month. Peak: April 2010 (47), January 2011 (61). Near-silence after mid-2013.
Stacked term group frequency. Red (Forensic) dominates 2010–2011. Dark blue (Gulen/Conspiracy) rises through 2012.
Terms x Months. Darker = more mentions. "CD" and "sahte" peak early 2011. "Calibri" and "Arsenal" peak early 2012.
227 of 715 titles (31.7%) use sarcastic or mocking rhetorical strategies.
Horizontal stacked bars. Each row = one month. Colored segments = sarcasm categories.
How the global media narrative evolved — from Rodrik/Doğan's own op-eds to "independent" investigative journalism. Green = campaign op-ed, Blue = independent/sympathetic, Grey = hedged, Red = hostile, Orange = correction.
"Yargi, Cemaat ve Bir Darbe Kurgusunun Ic Yuzu" — published August 2016, one month after the so-called coup attempt. 173 pages. Typeset in Calibri and Cambria — the same fonts that were used to argue that the documents presented in the evidence were forged.
Pink = Blog. Green = Book. The book uses "cemaat" 93 times but "FETO" 0 times. "Israel" appears 7 times (all geographic alibis). More measured, less sarcastic.
Systematic corpus analysis of balyozdavasivegercekler.com — the blog campaign run by Dani Rodrik and Pinar Dogan (2010–2021) to expose alleged forensic fraud in the Balyoz (Sledgehammer) coup plot trial in Turkey.
