Happy Journalists and Press Day...

Owing to the abolition of censorship in the Turkish press on 24 July 1908, 24 July is celebrated in Türkiye as "Journalists and Press Day."

As Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk expressed in his words "The press is the common voice of the nation," the press, which is one of the indispensable elements of our democratic life, the most effective instrument of the freedom to receive and disseminate news, and recognized as the fourth power after the legislative, executive and judicial branches, stands among the foremost institutions that enable democracy to live and develop.

We extend our most heartfelt wishes for the 24 July Journalists and Press Day to all the honorable pens and press workers whose sole profession is journalism, who enable us to access accurate information about events happening around us and in the world day and night, and who pursue impartial, principled and objective news with respect for individual rights and freedoms.
