The social media accounts of 2023 presidential candidates Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and Sinan Oğan, 889 Instagram and 1635 X posts on were examined in this study. Pre, inter and post-election analysis periods were conducted using Natural Language Processing techniques to process the posts. Erdoğan, unlike other candidates, maintained a consistent number of devoted and possessive followers. During the election periods, the candidates participating in the election, and in the post-election period, Erdoğan who won the election, maintained their social media presence. The candidates utilized Instagram for election propaganda and X for disseminating messages related to everyday politics and other topics. Despite more followers on X, the Instagram engagement numbers/rates were higher. Erdoğan had more followers in both platforms and all periods but Kılıçdaroğlu had higher engagement rates. The study suggests engagements alone cannot predict election outcomes; while likes can indicate support, comments may not always be entirely positive. It was observed that different elements were emphasized by the candidates in the posts during the election periods. In the campaigns, Erdoğan aimed to motivate and unite voters, while Kılıçdaroğlu wanted to generate excitement and energy in the first and stressed the importance of voting in the second period. Oğan, who competed only in the first-round of the election, emphasized the significance of a vote in the first period to bring about change, while emphasizing nationalist discourses in the second and third periods.

It is very important for the club's image and future whether the columns about the clubs are positive or negative. In order to investigate this situation, in this study, the status of being mentioned together with positive and negative concepts in the sports columns of 4 biggest clubs and their effects on the club image were revealed. The study was conducted with 9862 columns retrieved from 52 sports columnists of 5 newspapers with highest circulation, published between 2017-2021, including Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray, Beşiktaş and Trabzon within its content. It was used Natural Language Processing techniques and the software developed in C# language in Visual Studio environment in all of processes. The statuses of mentioning 19 positive meta-concepts with 42 sub-concepts and 23 negative meta-concepts with 62 sub-concepts together with the clubs in the columns were determined by developed software. It was seen that the most mentioned 3 positive concepts are "respect, friend, justice" with 4 clubs in different order and the least mentioned concepts are "compassion, kindness, gentle" in the same order. Conversely, difference was found out in clubs regarding the most and the least mentioned 3 negative concepts. The most and the least mentioned negative concepts with clubs are as follows respectively: Fenerbahçe "fight, anger, enemy" and "wild, slang, deception"; Galatasaray "insult, fight, enemy" and "slang, wild, provocation"; Beşiktaş "unfair, fight, anger" and "slang, wild, hooligan"; Trabzonspor "unfair, fight, anger" and "slang, provocation, wild". However, it was found out that the positive concepts are used more than negative concepts in columns. It was evaluated that the corporate image and respectability of the clubs which are mentioned with positive concepts can increase, and that the clubs which are mostly associated with negative concepts, can damage the club image for many years by having a negative place in the minds.
