With this article titled “The Shalom newspaper in Turkey since its 1984 language transformation from Ladino to Turkish and the Turkish Jewish community”, Assoc. Prof. Umut Uzer explores the significant linguistic shift of the Şalom newspaper, marking a profound evolution within the Turkish Jewish community. Since its inception in 1947, Şalom served as a key voice for this community, originally publishing in Ladino. However, in 1984, the newspaper underwent a crucial transition to Turkish, reflecting broader socio-political shifts in Turkey during the Republic period.

Assoc. Prof. Uzer's research, derived from meticulous examination of Şalom's archives and interviews with its columnists, delves into the transformation process with an objective and analytic perspective.

This analysis not only sheds light on the dynamics of language and identity but also encapsulates the historical and cultural transformations impacting minority communities in Turkey.
