List of newspapers in Turkey

There are many newspapers published in Turkey ranging from the far left to conservative and Islamist. The following is a list of the most popular newspapers in Turkey. It is however far from objective or impartial and should be read with some scepticism.

Millî Gazete (daily newspaper)

Islamist newspaper that is generally considered to be the mouthpiece of the Islamist Saadet Partisi.

Akşam (daily newspaper)

A newspaper with no obvious political leanings, similar to Sabah but highly nationalistic. The map of Turkey with a Turkish flag on it, located to the left of its logo, covers also the whole island of Cyprus. It was once a highly popular newspaper in Turkey but sales plummeted due to some of its most popular journalists leaving for larger newspapers.

Türkiye (daily newspaper)

Right-leaning nationalist newspaper run by the İhlas group (originating in the denominational Işık Cemaati) that also produces household appliences and runs a news channel. Introduced door-to-door newspaper delivery on a national scale. Türkiye and other İhlas media assets are known to have good terms of relationships with the Turkish police organisation, Emniyet Genel Müdürlüğü.

Vakit (daily newspaper)

An Islamist newspaper that seems to have been in constant conflict with the Turkish authorities (It has had to change its name several times due to its being closed down; its former name was Akit). Provides critical support for the ruling AK Parti.

Many young practicing Muslims in Turkey shun this newspaper due to its sensationist style of journalism (They recently referred to the German Chancellor as a 'Nazi').

Dünden Bugüne Tercüman (daily newspaper)

A nationalist newspaper run by Nazlı Ilıcak. It was once a popular newspaper of the nationalist right but later folded. Recently restarted but has yet to regain its former readership or sales numbers. Supports the ruling AK Parti.

Yeni Asya (daily newspaper)

An Islamist newspaper published by followers of Said Nursi gathered around the religious figure Mehmet Kutlular. Not commonly read and only to be found in conservative parts of the country or in bookshops that follow the teachings of Said Nursi

Star (daily newspaper)

Formally owned by Cem Uzan this newspaper began as a rather sensationalist newspaper similar to the English newspaper The Sun, concentrating more on sport, models and gossip than news.

It was taken over by the government due to legal and financial problems with Cem Uzan (who stood as leader of his own political party, the Genç Parti; a party that many tipped to be a possible political threat to the AK Parti)

It is recently sold to Koza-İpek Group, a new in Turkish media sector.
