About Hürriyet
Hürriyet is owned by Demirören Holding, a conglomerate known for its pro-government stance and close ties to President Erdoğan, which acquired the newspaper in 2018. A state-owned bank, Ziraat Bank, provided a substantial loan for this acquisition.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Hürriyet as 'Right Biased' and 'Mixed' for factual reporting, noting its editorial positions frequently favor the right-leaning government and that it promotes pro-government propaganda. Ground News also assigns a 'Right' bias and 'Mixed' factuality rating. The outlet has faced controversies, including a politically motivated tax fine in 2009, a probe for 'insulting President Erdoğan' in 2015, and the firing of journalists and an ombudsman for critical reporting after the 2018 acquisition. Turkey's press freedom environment is severely restricted, with Reporters Without Borders ranking it 163rd out of 180 countries in 2026, and Freedom House classifying it as 'Not Free' since 2013, citing government control over a significant portion of national media.
