In recent years, with the convenience provided by technological innovations, television journalism has gained technical opportunities such as live transmission of the crime scene moment by moment and aerial imaging. However, despite all these technological opportunities, in environments where natural disasters occur, it is critical to manage the moment of crisis as a messenger and convey it to the audience waiting to receive news through screens. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the practices of television journalism in times of natural disasters when people need more information about receiving news. The study, whose conceptual framework is formed by current discussions on crisis and disaster journalism, differs from other studies in the literature in terms of addressing the experiences of reporters working in disaster situations. In this context, using the semi-structured interview technique, data was obtained from the news center teams of national television channels in Istanbul and Ankara, cameramen, reporters and announcers working in disaster broadcasts in the disaster area within the scope of the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The data obtained was categorized in terms of cameramen (n=9), reporters (n=9), and announcers (n=9), and evaluated through themes. The general conclusion is that the physical and technical difficulties in the disaster zone affect the working conditions of the journalists and have a negative impact on news production processes. The study also concluded that professional ethical rules were violated due to reasons such as the broadcasting policy of media organisations, rating concerns, inability to control emotions - whether intentionally or unintentionally - and journalistic reflexes.
