Abstract
Bu çalışmada, BRICS ülkeleri kapsamında basın özgürlüğünün yolsuzluk ile olan ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Basın özgürlüğü göstergesi olarak Freedom House Basın Özgürlüğü Endeksi, yolsuzluk göstergesi olarak ise Dünya Bankası tarafından yayınlanan Yolsuzluk Kontrol Endeksi kullanılmıştır. Enflasyon oranı, ekonomik özgürlük endeksi, kişi başına düşen GSYİH, kamu harcamalarının GSYİH içerisindeki yeri, İnsani Gelişmişlik Endeksi, kentsel nüfus artış hızı ve ticari açıklık oranı gibi değişkenler de açıklayıcı değişkenler olarak çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. BRICS ülkelerine ait 2002-2017 yılları arası veriler kullanılarak panel veri analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda BRICS ülkelerinde basın özgürlük endeks değeri arttıkça (basın özgürlüğü azaldıkça), yolsuzluk kontrol endeksinin azaldığı (yolsuzlukların arttığı) sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between freedom of press and corruption with BRICS countries. The Freedom House Press Freedom Index was used as an indicator of press freedom and the Corruption Control Index published by the World Bank was used as an indicator of corruption.The study included explanatory variables such as inflation rate, economic freedom index, GDP per capita, public spending in GDP, Human Development Index, urban population growth rate and trade openness ratio. Panel data analysis was carried out using data from BRICS countries between 2002-2017.As a result of the analysis, as the press freedom index value increased (decreasing freedom of press) in BRICS countries, it was concluded that corruption control index decreased (corruption increased).
