About Sabah

Major Daily Government-alignedLimited public info

Sabah is owned by the Kalyon Group through its subsidiary, Turkuvaz Media Group. Turkuvaz Media Group has strong ties to Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, with his son-in-law and brother having held executive positions within the group. The group's financing has been linked to kickbacks from pro-government businesspeople.

Media Bias/Fact Check rates Sabah as Right Biased with Mixed factual reporting, identifying it as part of Turkey's 'pool media' that consistently favors the right-leaning government and promotes pro-government propaganda. Its English edition, Daily Sabah, is similarly described as strongly right-biased with low factual reliability, often employing emotionally loaded language, and exhibiting poor sourcing, sensationalism, and the propagation of government narratives. The outlet has faced criticism from the Committee to Protect Journalists for revealing the locations of exiled Turkish journalists, an act deemed unethical and irresponsible. The European Parliament also banned the distribution of Daily Sabah in its building due to its perceived 'hate press' content targeting Gülenists. The provided headline sample includes positive coverage of NATO and the Justice Minister, along with local news, which aligns with a pro-government editorial stance.
