About Daily Sabah
Daily Sabah is owned by Turkuvaz Media Group, which is part of the Kalyon Group. The Kalyon Group has close ties to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), and the newspaper is widely considered a pro-government outlet.
Daily Sabah is consistently described by media watchdogs as a pro-government newspaper and a propaganda outlet for the Turkish government and the ruling AKP. Media Bias/Fact Check rates its parent paper, Sabah, as 'Right Biased' with 'Mixed' factual reporting due to poor sourcing and the promotion of pro-government propaganda. Similarly, Ground News assigns Daily Sabah a 'Right' bias and 'Mixed' factuality rating. The outlet was established in 2014 to provide a supportive voice for the AKP in English. The headlines often reflect a pro-Turkish government stance, including criticism of Israeli actions and US foreign policy, and a focus on Turkish diplomatic and economic interests.
Reading context
Media systems vary by law, ownership, and editorial custom. We preserve each outlet's framing and add context so readers can compare coverage without treating one country as the default.
