Message from TÜROB President Eresin for "24 July Journalists' and Press Day"

The abolition of censorship in the Turkish press on 24 July 1908 was a historic turning point not only for the journalism profession but also for our democracy. This important day is celebrated each year as "Journalists' and Press Day" and reminds us once again of just how vital a value press freedom is.

The press, one of the cornerstones of a democratic society, not only ensures that the public has access to accurate, impartial, and timely information, but also plays a vital role in raising social awareness and shaping public opinion. Often working under difficult conditions and with great sacrifice, our members of the press contribute to the development of our democracy and to the bright future of our country.

On this occasion, I extend my most heartfelt congratulations on 24 July Journalists' and Press Day to all press workers who carry out their duties with a commitment to professional principles, in pursuit of accurate news, and with an understanding of impartial and responsible journalism, and I wish them success in their work.
