The purpose of this study is to examine, from a comprehensive standpoint, how architecture and printed mass media -such as newspapers and periodical- interact, as well as how these media shape architectural discourses and public opinion. This study holistically examines the relationship between architecture and printed mass media (newspapers and periodicals). Systematic literature reviews evaluate the place of these tools in architectural research, their evolution over time, and their contributions. The study employs a mixed research methodology combining quantitative and qualitative methods. As a result of querying the Web of Science database with the keywords "Architecture," "Newspaper," "Journal," "Magazine," and "Mass Media," 127 articles were selected and analyzed with RStudio software. In terms of publications, authors, journals, and countries, the research shows the structure, trends, and patterns of this field of study. The results draw attention to the role of newspapers and periodicals in shaping architectural public opinion. Moreover, architectural discourses disseminated through the media affect not only architectural designs but also social and ideological structures. The study provides significant findings on how architectural history is rewritten through the media. This study presents a holistic analysis of this field by discussing the role of mass media in shaping research in the discipline of architecture. This comprehensive approach to the impact of media on architectural history and public opinion aims to reveal the existing knowledge gaps in the field.
