About Cumhuriyet

Paper Of Record Center-leftEstablished source

Cumhuriyet is owned by the Cumhuriyet Foundation, established by its founder Yunus Nadi Abalıoğlu in 1924. The foundation's board has been subject to internal power struggles and concerns have been raised about potential influence by government loyalists following changes in its leadership.

Cumhuriyet, founded in 1924, has a long history as a secular, Kemalist, and critical voice in Turkish media, often advocating for democratic and social liberal values. The outlet has faced significant pressure and persecution from the Turkish government, including arrests and convictions of its journalists on terror-related charges, and assassinations of its contributors throughout its history. Reporters Without Borders recognized Cumhuriyet with its Freedom of Press Prize in 2015 for its independent journalism. Recent internal disputes within the Cumhuriyet Foundation have led to changes in its editorial board, raising concerns about its future editorial independence and a shift towards a more markedly Kemalist policy. The headline sample reflects a focus on domestic news, economic issues, and social topics, consistent with a paper of record that also reports on matters critical of government performance.
