FOREWORD
Turkey is one of the most influential countries in the world today, thanks to its quality population, strong economy, stable political structure, freedoms-oriented, independent regime and more importantly the well-established culture of democracy.
Over the past decade, our country has managed to overcome its all chronic problems by introducing many historic reforms in a wide range of fields, from foreign
policy and education to justice in line with the EU membership criteria.
Murat KARAKAYA
Director General
Having achieved to become one of the 15 biggest economies in the world owing
to its economic moves, Turkey is now a gradually prospering country with a stable
course of economic growth. Thanks to the legal and judicial reforms, level of democracy has risen and all the problems concerning individual rights and freedoms
have been removed. Today’s Turkey is a country of which people enjoy freedoms of
expression and travel and do not meet any prohibition or restriction.
Accordingly, Turkey has a clear guarantee for democracy with its free and independent media sector which is mainly built on the private corporations along with
two public institutions, the Anadolu Agency and the Turkish Radio and Television
Corporation, providing a great competitive advantage and adaptive capacity to
technological innovations.
With a deep-rooted media tradition, Turkish public administration is conducted
with a great sense of responsibility for making legislative regulations to address the
needs of the media sector. All the impediments has been removed, press freedom
has been guaranteed and foreign investment share in the sector has been increased
through some legislative efforts including the Press Law based on a widespread
consensus, the improvements made on Turkish Criminal Law, and a law governing
radio-television broadcasting. Media sector is provided with technical and financial
support through the such media organizations as the Director General of Press and
Information and the Press Advertising Institution.
Currently, Turkish media has a dynamic and vibrant climate with nearly 6800 newspapers and magazines, and totally 263 television outlets and 1058 radio stations.
Thus, the work in your hands, “Turkish Media at a Glance”, aims at giving insight
into a century-long media adventure dating from Ottoman era till today as well as
taking a detailed picture of today’s media as a fast-changing sector in Turkey. So,
I believe and hope that this work will not only be a reference source for both national and foreign journalists, scholars, students and the others concerned about
the media but also an inspiration to similar works in the future.

TURKISH MEDIA AT A GLANCE
Turkish media embarked on its long adventure in a small printing house in İstanbul, in 1727 and since then, it has proceeded at dizzying speed despite all the ups and downs till today. Having acted as an initiator of democratization movement and then becoming people’s voice during the national struggle, Turkish media has obtained a more liberal atmosphere with the establishment of the Republic. Today, Turkey has an explosive media sector with about 6800 papers and
magazines, 263 TV channels and 1058 radio stations.
Of these papers and magazines; approximately 60 % is local, 5 % regional and 36 % national. Daily papers have got 88
% share in the total annual circulation. Moreover, the Official Gazette, issued by the state for announcing the new legislation and making other official announcements, has been published since 1920 when it was issued under the title of
Ceride-i Resmiye. It has been in the stage under the name of Resmi Gazete since 1928.
In Turkey, TV broadcasting has recently come further and further to the forefront, exceeding the printed media in terms
of its scope and economical dimension. Today great majority of 18 million households reached by broadcasts can access
multi-channel platforms.
In recent years particularly the productions by TV serial sector have promoted Turkey to the rank of the most important
content producers in the world.
Turkey, as a party to The European Convention on Transfrontier Television and EU Audio-Visual Media Services Directive,
guarantees the freedom of expression in its Press Law. Share of foreign capital in the Turkish media has been maximized
to 50% thanks to the adoption of a new Radio and Television Law (RTUK Law) prepared in pursuant to the EU Acquis.
Following these developments, world’s prominent media groups, such as Times Warner, News Corp., Al-Jazeera and GB
Times, have launched into large-scale investments in Turkey.
TRT has recently added a new channel to its thematic channels covering news, music, children, documentary, sports
and education based on the concept of public service broadcasting and started Kurdish TV broadcasting, which was
previously banned. Besides its 24 hours Arabic language channel, TRT today meets with the audience through a certain
broadcast streaming in multiple languages including Bosnian, Kazakh, Georgian, Greek, German and Romanian during a
certain broadcast streaming.
In Turkey, HDTV broadcasts via Türksat satellite are also available as well as transmissions in an analog-terrestrial mode.
DIGITURK, one of the digital satellite subscription based platforms, has an estimated reach of 3.3 million households,
while D-SMART reaches 1,7 million. There are 1,2 million analog cable TV subscribers and 130 thousand digital TV subscribers. Besides, there is an IPTV service launched by Turk Telekom in Turkey. Audience can easily watch many national,
local and international broadcasts.
Having made a breakthrough in recent years, the Anadolu Agency (AA), one of the world’s oldest agencies, has become
among ten big agencies. The Agency started to restructure itself in the Balkans, Arab countries, Caucasia and the Central
Asia with a view to ranking one of the five big agencies in its centenary.
Multiplication of actors within a sector, which has witnessed the advertisement revenues up to 2,5 billion USD and a
cutthroat competition, creates a free and pluralistic climate which is open to opinions and ideologies of all descriptions.
Almost half of the population has access to the Internet. With over 32 million registered users, Turkey ranks as the seventh country among others in terms of Internet usage. Moreover, given its nearly 8 million Twitter users, video sharing
sites also receive a great deal of attention in our country.
Each year 80 or 100 new serials are released on Turkish TV stations. There is also a strong foreign demand for TV productions including mostly the prime-time soap operas. In 2011 alone the revenue recorded from serial exports to the
countries ranging from South America to the Middle East and the Balkans to Africa was over 60 million USD.

STRUCTURE OF MEDIA OWNERSHIP
With the new technological developments and due to some governmental problems, media sector has
started to pass into the hands of outsiders in Turkey, in that big investment groups have increasingly taken
control of the sector since 1980s when the sector was dominated mostly by certain journalistic families.
Media sector has been on an unplanned and uncontrolled growth trend since the first private TV channel
began its broadcasting life in 1990 and state monopoly over the visual broadcasting sector was broken.
Having structured as such the media sector got a severe blow from the 2000-2001 financial crisis. As a
result, some media patrons of the failed banks went bankrupt, creating a grave unemployment wave in
the media sector. Then, Saving Deposits Insurance Fund of Turkey seized some media companies for their
failed banks. And in parallel with this process a new period began for the media ownership.
Thanks to the new legal regulations, foreign shareholders and those investment groups which were previously engaged in various irrelevant fields turned towards the media sector. Thus, the ownership structure
of Turkish media started to reshape with the advent of new entrepreneurs.
Today’s prominent media organizations are also the leading investment groups of the country. Media
groups are entering into joint ventures with foreign media companies both at home and abroad.
On the other hand, foreign companies can also own media organs in Turkey. For example, News Corporation
& Atlantic Records purchased TGRT and now continue its broadcasting under the name of Fox TV. Turkish
Broadcasting Law No. 6112 dated 2011 raised the maximum share of foreign investment in a private media
organ up to 50%. As a result of this certain media companies such as Qatar-financed Al-Jazeera and Chinafinanced GB Times embarked on making investments in the fields of television and radio broadcastings,
and webcasting in Turkey.

MEDIA AND ADVERTISING
Advertising sector has been on a stable growth curve in parallel with the economic development in Turkey
since 2002. Annual advertisement spending increased by 262 % growth and rose to 2,5 billion USD in 2011
in reference to 953 million USD in 2002. In the first half of 2012 the sector realized a growth of 1,3 billion
USD, but a 8 % rise is expected for the end of the year. Another striking point is that the digital media channels such as web-casting and mobile-casting, which are defined as New Media, have recorded significant
surge in their ad revenue shares, getting 8 % slice of the ad pie in 2012. The lion’s share of ad revenue is of
television with 57 %, followed by respectively newspapers (22 %), Internet (8 %), billboards (7 %), radio (3

INTERNET MEDIA
Internet has profoundly influenced the media sector in Turkey as it is in the world. Increase in Internet
usage and rapid developments of broadcasting technologies have changed classical broadcasting approach. Turkey has been undergoing a rapid change in webcast and mocast as in the world. According to
September 2012 data by Information Technologies and Communication Authority (BTK) there are about
37 million Internet subscribers including 19,3 million broadband Internet subscribers. Mainstream national newspapers attain a digital readership decupling the daily newsstand sales. Having seen the choice
of Turkish people, the media companies have been increasing web based investments day by day.
Rapid growth of Internet both in quality and quantity has led to a speedy rise in digital ad investments.
According to IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) Turkey declared that in the first half of 2012 digital advertisement investments reached 416,77 million TL with a rise of % 34.4 compared to the same period
last year.

SOCIAL MEDIA
Rapid change in information technologies reflects on the world of publishing and broadcasting world simultaneously. As the use of Internet and mobile devices has become widespread, classical approach of
publishing and broadcasting via newspapers and TV screens has started to change. Mobile devices are
alternative channels joining previously widespread communications medium.
Social media has turned into the most effective communications channel of the world in a short time
thanks to its networking sites with capacity of informing, entertaining and influencing the masses.
Social Media is keeping up with global progress in Turkey where web and mobile communication are
widespread.
Given the size of active social networking users, Turkey outdistanced many countries in social media use.
This great interest leads to many digital agencies to launch, while heading conventional media to social
media.

HUMOR PRESS
Humor publishing is one of most successful publishing examples in the Turkish press history. “Diyojen”,
which appeared on publishing scene in 1870 and teamed up with prominent figures including Namık
Kemal, Ebuziya Tevfik and Ali Bey, is the first political humor newspaper of the country. Since then, thousands of periodicals, newspapers and cartoons have been published, mirroring the Turkish humor. Akbaba,
Marko Paşa, Karakedi, Taş, Dolmuş, Gırgır, Fırt, Ustura, Leman, Penguen and Uykusuz are the most important humor magazines.
In Turkey, humor magazine publishing owes its present popularity to the cartoonist Oğuz Aral who is
founder and chief editor of Gırgır. He made Gırgır the third largest magazine of the world by circulation
over 500 thousand. Following Gırgır with a large readership especially among the youth, number of humor
journals proliferated. According to 2012 data, Uykusuz and Penguen are two top-selling humor journals.
Current humor publishing is carried out with weekly humor magazines rather than the cartoon pages of
daily newspapers.

TV SERIES
In recent years Turkish TV channels have made big progress in content producing, while previously having
relied on almost all the program formats including serials, game and entertainment shows and movies in
particular from outside. Furthermore, today this sector is well positioned to launch homemade TV productions with global competitiveness and nearly all of the Turkish TV channels can offer homemade production to their viewers.
For the last few years, 80 or 100 new homemade productions have appeared on the scene annually.
Production quality has moved Turkish serials to the international markets. Today Turkey is among the most
important content-production centers. Turkish serials became famous in the world ranging from Middle
East to Balkans and South America. As Turkish serials have gained popularity in those countries where they
are featured on TV, demand for them has increased day by day and Turkish artists gained ground in being
a world star as well. For instance, the last episode of Gümüş, a serial which is shown as among the most
popular ones, was watched by 84 million people across the Middle East.
According to the data given by Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Turkey exported totally 10,500 hours of
serials and contents to many countries across in the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans by the end of
2011. Thanks to this exportation, the yield was over 60 million USD.

MEDIA LEGISLATION
In our country “Matbaalar Nizamnamesi” (Printing Regulation) is the first legal regulation concerning the
field of media. Press freedom had gained a constitutional statute with the 1876 Constitution stating that
the “Press is free within the limits of law”. Following the proclamation of republic 1924 Constitution ruled
that press is free within the framework of laws and works cannot be subjected to any control before publication.
Basic regulations in the current media law are as follows:
- Law No. 5846 of December 13, 1951 on Intellectual and Artistic Works
- Law No. 5953 of June 13, 1952 on the Regulation of Relations between Press Profession Employees and
Employers
- Press Card Regulation of March 23, 2001

Measures
Law No. 6112 in particular among the listed above, is prepared in accordance with EU Council Directive

reforms including prevention of monopoly, increasing share of foreign capital , adoption of the notion
of commercial communication and staging the sanction executed in case of any broadcasting principles
violations.

journalism by 2013.
