Yeni Şafak (New Dawn) is a Turkish daily newspaper published in Istanbul . The paper supports the ruling Justice and Recovery Party (AKP). The newspaper's motto printed on the title head is Türkiye'nin birikimi (meaning: “Turkey's wealth of experience”). Since 2012 some of the articles on the Internet have also been published in English.
Ownership
The newspaper belongs to Albayrak Holding , founded in 1952 , a conglomerate that is active in the fields of construction , logistics and the tractor, paper and textile industries . In addition to Yeni Şafak, the group's media division also includes TVNet as well as various magazines and websites.
history
The newspaper Yakup Yönten ve Tufan Mengi was founded in 1994, but had to stop its publication after a few months due to financial difficulties. The paper was then bought by Ahmet Şişman, the chairman of the Islamic Ensar Foundation, and appeared on October 24, 1995 with a new, Islamist orientation. Those in charge today regard this as the actual founding date of the newspaper. After another change of ownership, the newspaper was finally bought by Albayrak Holding in 1997 .
Since her reappearance, Yeni Şafak has been close to the Millî Görüş movement . When this split in 2001, Yeni Şafak supported the renewal group around Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Abdullah Gül and the newly founded AKP, while the other Millî Görüş newspaper Millî Gazete stayed with the traditionalists and the party of happiness .
After the military intervention in February 1997 , the newspaper came under political pressure; there were raids in the editorial offices and arrests. During this time, Yeni Şafak opened her doors to numerous journalists who had been dismissed in major newspapers such as Hürriyet or Sabah due to the changed political situation . Not only conservative authors like Nazlı Ilıcak , Fehmi Koru , Mehmet Barlas found a refuge with Yeni Şafak , but also left-wing liberals like Cengiz Çandar . For a few years, Yeni Şafak stood for a mixture of Islamic conservative and liberal authors. However, nothing is left of this pluralism today.
