The paper, which covers the Trabzon Press between 1945-1950 in terms of general characteristic, expresses also the role of the press within press-politics relation. In this frame, the change of the press during the transi-tion from the single-party structure to multi-party structure, the discussion topics of new press organs on local and national politics is investigated.
