Turkey: Freedom of the Press in Danger | European Journal
The EU parliament has protested against the arrest of several journalists in Turkey. Freedom of the press has also taken a blow with increased censorship and self-censorship.The Turkish authorities accuse the journalists of belonging to the Ergenekon group, an organization of military and civilian persons suspected of having planned a coup against Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. But at least two of the journalists are considered definite opponents of the coup. Their arrest may be the result of criticisms they leveled against the Turkish police.

Turkey: Debasing the free press? - The Listening Post (Lead)
Turks have cast their votes for the second time this year and the AK party have surged back into power.
Amid a military campaign grappling Kurdish fighters in the southeast and the armed group ISIL, critics of the AK party have accused President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of drowning out opposition voices and trying to control the media message.
Erdogan insists his country's media is the freest in the world, however, a series of high-profile raids into Turkish media groups hostile to the government has seen some of the biggest media crackdowns in the country's history.
The election results have put the AK party back in power with 49 percent of the vote, so what does that mean for journalism and media freedom in Turkey?

Counting the closures: Turkey's media shutdown - The Listening Post (Lead)
Since the attempted coup in Turkey in July, news of journalist arrests, revoked press cards and the closure of media outlets has become synonymous with the new Turkish media landscape.
This past week alone, more than a dozen media operations were shut down, most of them in the predominantly Kurdish southeast. In total, 160 media outlets have been shuttered since the beginning of the clampdown and 133 journalists are currently behind bars.
"There are more than 100 journalists in jail at the moment. But, there is another figure - it's not just the number of journalists in jail, it's the number of journalists who work like they are in jail. I am talking here about censorship and self-censorship, that takes the numbers up into the thousands," says Ahmet Sik, journalist at Cumhuriyet.

Turkey - Press award for imprisoned journalist
(16 Jul 1997) T/I: 11:13:20 GS 10:23:14
A delegation of western journalists visited jailed Turkish journalist Isik on Wednesday (16/7) and presented him with an international freedom of press award. Yurtcu, the former editor of a pro-Kurdish daily who has been jailed for 12 years for publishing articles allegedly against the Turkish state called for the release of all prisoners of conscience in Turkey.
The delegation, which included Terry Anderson, from the Committee for the Protection of Journalists, Peter Arnett and Robert Menard, the president of Journalists Without Borders, and the famous Turkish novelist Yashar Kemal, travelled by bus from Istanbul to the Saray prison where Yurtcu is being held.

Media haven or hell? The paradox of journalism in Turkey
In this special edition of the show, we hear from two groups of exiled journalists: those on the run from Turkey, and others who have found sanctuary there.

Since the attempted coup in Turkey in July, news of journalist arrests, revoked press cards and the closure of media outlets has become synonymous with the new Turkish media landscape.
This past week alone, more than a dozen media operations were shut down, most of them in the predominantly Kurdish southeast. In total, 160 media outlets have been shuttered since the beginning of the clampdown and 133 journalists are currently behind bars.
"There are more than 100 journalists in jail at the moment. But, there is another figure - it's not just the number of journalists in jail, it's the number of journalists who work like they are in jail. I am talking here about censorship and self-censorship, that takes the numbers up into the thousands," says Ahmet Sik, journalist at Cumhuriyet.
Cumhuriyet is one of Turkey's oldest newspapers and has just had its current editor plus a dozen members of its staff taken into custody.
Prosecutors say the paper has been "committing crimes" on behalf of Kurdistan Workers' Party, the PKK, as well as having ties to the network of Fethullah Gulen, the man the government says was behind the attempted coup. This has been a recurring cover for the multiple journalist arrests and suppression of media freedom.
"Almost everything that is happening to the media in Turkey today is happening on illegal foundations. It is well-known that these closures are unconstitutional, but under the state of emergency, everything, including the violation of the constitution and the law, is being permitted," says Ceren Sozeri, a media scholar at Galatasaray University.
Talking us through the story are: Ahmet Sik, journalist, Cumhuriyet; Beritan Canozer, journalist, JINHA news agency; Mehmet Akarca, general manager, Press Regulator; Ceren Sozeri, media scholar; and Yildiray Ogur, journalist, Turkiye newspaper.

Despite ISIS on the doorstep of Europe, perhaps the greatest threat to Turkish democracy and freedom lies within the state itself. After 13 years of leadership, has Erdoğan's strong-arm state reached too far?
Just days before he was shot at and then imprisoned for revealing state secrets, Turkish journalist Can Dündar warned of the dangers faced by his colleagues in the press. The editor in chief of the Turkish daily Cumhuriyet risked his life to highlight what he sees as a state take-over of the media. "All we have done is published a story that is true, and he calls it an act of terrorism”, he says. Yet as internal unrest and ISIS extremism threaten the country's fragile stability - and even more tenuous hope of a place in Europe - human rights have been sacrificed for the sake of state control. "There are now almost no free media organisations that can freely produce a TV series or have control of the medium”, says actor Levent Üzümcü. "We can’t talk about anything being free in Turkey today”.

In this special edition of the show, we hear from two groups of exiled journalists: those on the run from Turkey, and others who have found sanctuary there.
Turkey: No country for bold journalists?
Last month, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a rare press briefing for journalists in the country's media capital, Istanbul.
In his opening remarks, Erdogan said that freedom of the press was of "vital importance" to him.
It was a statement that failed to square with the facts, let alone the numbers. Because for each of the last three years -- since July of 2016, when an attempted coup failed to depose the president -- Turkey has imprisoned more journalists than any other country.
And alongside all of those jailed, the government has prosecuted a much longer list of media workers whose fates still hang in the balance.
Following Ankara's post-coup purge of the Turkish judiciary, for many, a fair trial is a seemingly distant prospect; a situation that has driven many of the accused into self-imposed exile.
In the first part of this special edition of the programme, The Listening Post's Flo Phillips speaks to three Turkish journalists - all former editors at newspapers critical of the ruling AK Party - about the cases against them, life in exile and the decline of press freedom in Turkey.
Contributors:
Mahir Zeynalov - editor, The Globe Post & former online editor, Today's Zaman
Can Dundar - editor, Ozguruz & former editor, Cumhuriyet
Cagdas Kaplan - reporter, Yeni Yasam
In Ankara's defence: An interview with Cem Kucuk
We wanted to get the Erdogan government's response to the allegations made by Can Dundar, Mahir Zeynalov and Cagdas Kaplan in the opening segment of this Listening Post special.
We requested interviews with a number of senior government officials, however none of them agreed to speak with us. So we asked for an interview with Cem Kucuk, an Erdogan loyalist and a prominent face on the privately-owned TV channel, TGRT.
Kucuk agreed, but with strict conditions. He said he did not want to answer any questions about the Turkish government's handling of specific journalists - in particular, the exiled newspaper editors we interviewed. He said our questions would be better answered by a representative of the state. He did however defend certain other statements about the media made by President Erdogan and one of his closest advisors.

Istanbul: Turkish haven for Arab journalists
Journalism may be under siege in Turkey, but there is a specific group of journalists - foreign ones - who are thriving there.
In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, hundreds of reporters from Egypt, Syria, Yemen and Libya fled authoritarian governments, oppression, prosecution and in some cases war - to come to Turkey, finding a sanctuary in which to produce the kind of journalism that would be impossible back home.
There are now more than a dozen Arab TV stations based in the country beaming their content back to news audiences across the Arab world.
The irony, and apparent hypocrisy, to all this - Turkey jailing its own dissident journalists while playing host to those from other countries - is not lost on either Turkish reporters or their foreign colleagues. They understand the politics at play.
The Listening Post spoke to three Arab journalists about life in exile, as well as the space that has been carved out for adversarial journalism aimed at the Arab world.

In this special edition of the show, we hear from two groups of exiled journalists: those on the run from Turkey, and others who have found sanctuary there.
Turkey: No country for bold journalists?
Last month, Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a rare press briefing for journalists in the country's media capital, Istanbul.
In his opening remarks, Erdogan said that freedom of the press was of "vital importance" to him.
It was a statement that failed to square with the facts, let alone the numbers. Because for each of the last three years -- since July of 2016, when an attempted coup failed to depose the president -- Turkey has imprisoned more journalists than any other country.
And alongside all of those jailed, the government has prosecuted a much longer list of media workers whose fates still hang in the balance.
Following Ankara's post-coup purge of the Turkish judiciary, for many, a fair trial is a seemingly distant prospect; a situation that has driven many of the accused into self-imposed exile.
In the first part of this special edition of the programme, The Listening Post's Flo Phillips speaks to three Turkish journalists - all former editors at newspapers critical of the ruling AK Party - about the cases against them, life in exile and the decline of press freedom in Turkey.

In Ankara's defence: An interview with Cem Kucuk
We wanted to get the Erdogan government's response to the allegations made by Can Dundar, Mahir Zeynalov and Cagdas Kaplan in the opening segment of this Listening Post special.
We requested interviews with a number of senior government officials, however none of them agreed to speak with us. So we asked for an interview with Cem Kucuk, an Erdogan loyalist and a prominent face on the privately-owned TV channel, TGRT.
Kucuk agreed, but with strict conditions. He said he did not want to answer any questions about the Turkish government's handling of specific journalists - in particular, the exiled newspaper editors we interviewed. He said our questions would be better answered by a representative of the state. He did however defend certain other statements about the media made by President Erdogan and one of his closest advisors.
