Özet: This article examines critical deeds of football supporters towards the news media, as a result of their self-perception as media victims following news reports about murder of a football supporter, namely Ozgur Soylu, on the way to an away game to support his team. Research, using content analysis as well as Internet ethnography methods to study the Internet forum of football supporters, aims to deeply comprehend characteristics, dynamics and transformation of football supporters’ anger towards media. In addition to media power and alternative media notions, concept of self-perception as media victim is proposed as a crucial step in the transformation of the rage against media towards action against media. Finally, football supporters’ critical position taking is proposed as an unusual form of media criticism from which critical media and communication studies can learn from. Keywords: Media criticism, futbol fandom, critical media and communication studies, Internet, Tribün Dergi.
