It is obvious that translation occupied a significant place in the magazines and newspapers published in the Sublime Porte at the beginning of the twentieth century. In addition to their intellectual identities, it is seen that the translations of women writers from foreign books and writings who had worked in newspapers were also published in these newspapers, thanks to their linguistic capital. These articles and translations were sometimes stories, sometimes serial novels, newspaper articles and informative article translations. The fact that translation played a major role in newspapers paved the way for women writers who knew foreign languages to sometimes find work in newspapers. In her biography written by Azize Bergin, she states that the job application she made to Akın Newspaper in 1950 with the aim of becoming a journalist was accepted, thanks to the appreciation of her novel translation from English. Although Bergin came to prominence with her journalist identity in the following years, she continued to translate, carrying out the profession of journalism and translation together. Although she entered the field of press publication with his linguistic capital, the formation of her social capital with her inclusion in the social network of the newspapers and magazines she worked for had been effective in the journalism and translation profession for more than fifty years. In this study, journalist-translator Azize Bergin's translation adventure will be examined from the perspective of Pierre Bourdieu's field theory to trace her social capital.
