Disasters are natural events that adversely affect the regions where they occur and the living creatures living in that region. The media has important duties in times of disaster and crisis. In these periods, how the news language is shaped in the media and what it represents or does not represent gains importance. Kayseri is one of the cities that closely felt the Kahramanmaraş-based earthquakes that took place on 6 February 2023 and affected 11 provinces. Kayseri, which was one of the logistically important centres for the delivery of aid after the earthquake, also served as one of the shelter points for earthquake victims. Therefore, the psychological, social and social effects of the earthquake disaster had a great repercussion in the city. The Kayseri press was sensitive to the developments and informed the public with comprehensive news. In this study, it is examined how the news about the 7.7 and 7.6 magnitude Kahramanmaraş-based earthquakes, which occurred consecutively on 6 February 2023 and affected 11 provinces of Turkey, were presented in the local media. Content analysis method was preferred as the method of the study and three newspapers published in Kayseri (Kayseri Anadolu Haber, Kayseri Gerçek Haber, Gazete Kayseri) were taken as a sample. In this context, the news about this great earthquake, which is also described as "the disaster of the century", on the first pages of the digital copies of these newspapers published between 7 February and 31 May were subjected to content analysis. As a result of this analysis, it has been observed that more catastrophic aspects of the earthquake were reflected in the news. In the news reports, it was determined that mostly mayors, but also politicians, scientists and representatives of non-governmental organizations made statements. In addition to this, the financial difficulties experienced by earthquake victims were also brought to the forefront and the extent of the aid provided by municipalities and local people was emphasized.
