Hürriyet ( German "Freedom" ) is a Turkish- language daily newspaper with an editorial office in Istanbul . Until 2018 it was considered one of the last independent media outlets; Before the 70th anniversary of its founding, its publisher, the Dogan media group , was bought up by the Erdoğan- affiliated Demirören Holding .

With the takeover of the Dogan Group in 2018, the Turkish conglomerate has developed into the largest media group in Turkey and, in addition to Hürriyet, publishes several other Turkish daily newspapers, including Milliyet , Posta , Fanatik and the English-language Hürriyet Daily News and Economic Review , out. In addition to some smaller special-interest channels, the company also operates the Turkish TV channels Kanal D , CNN Türk and the pay TV provider D-Smart (as of 2020)
Market position

In the head of the newspaper there is a picture of the founder of the state Ataturk and the motto Türkiye Türklerindir ("Turkey belongs to the Turks") next to the lettering Hürriyet in white letters on a black and red background .

Readers' Council
In 2008, on the initiative of the publisher's daughter, Hürriyet created the Hürriyet Okur Meclisi ( Hürriyet Readers 'Parliament ), a readers' committee with an advisory function. It consists of 50 people of both sexes in different age groups and professions. These individuals were chosen in a poll from 8,998 candidates from 47 countries.

In addition to the members, the then editor-in-chief Ertuğrul Özkök and various managers and journalists of the newspaper attended this founding meeting.

Controversy and criticism
In 1994, for the first time in the history of the German Press Council, the reporting of a foreign-language publication, the Hürriyet, was objected to. She received a public reprimand for incorrectly calling the Lord Mayor of Hanover Herbert Schmalstieg as the " PKK 'ler Lord Mayor". In 1996, the press council disapproved of three publications by Hürriyet, which indirectly called for attacks on monitor boss Klaus Bednarz . The newspaper received further reprimands, among other things, for taking over a report from another newspaper. When reporting on the house fire in Ludwigshafen am Rhein in 2008, the Bild newspaper complained that the press council was not sufficiently investigating complaints about Hürriyet articles.
In 2001, the head of the Hürriyet Europe edition, Ertuğ Karakullukçu, was dismissed. As chief commentator, Ertuğ Karakullukçu orchestrated most of the controversial attacks.
The head of the Essen Center for Turkish Studies , Faruk Şen , said in 2004: “The tide has changed. It relies more on integration . " The Taz held the paper in 2008 for populist and unhelpful to the notification of Germany and Turkey.
