Volume: 28 pages, pdf

Description

Turkey has an affluent media landscape where a vast number of conventional print and broadcast media institutions, along with alternative organizations, sustain their subdomains with relation to their interests, policies and ideologies. These institutions have continued their activities over the past decades in a very dynamic field that has been subject to concentration, polarization and pressure. Therefore, their operations are influenced by many factors considering the wider composition of social forces in the political environment. Currently, media in Turkey are exposed to challenges of different kinds at multiple levels. As a democratizing force, civil society is a potential buffer for these challenges. Indeed, there is a plethora of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Turkey, operating in the broadly defined field of media.
