NTV’s Strengths and Reputation

NTV’s strengths and its reputation for reliability are multifaceted:

• Journalistic Standards: The channel aims for impartial and ethical broadcasting. However, this claim has been contested, particularly during major political events. During the 2013 Gezi Park protests, NTV and other mainstream outlets faced significant criticism and public protests for failing to cover the demonstrations, leading to staff resignations and an apology from the parent company’s CEO. This incident also led to the BBC suspending its partnership with NTV after the channel refused to air a BBC segment on press freedom in Turkey.
• Audience Trust: In a highly polarized media environment, trust in news sources often aligns with political views. While some surveys have shown high levels of trust in NTV , the broader landscape is one of deep public mistrust in media, with a majority of citizens believing the press is controlled by the government and presents biased information.
• Corporate Ownership: NTV’s ownership by Doğuş Group, a conglomerate with major interests in state-dependent sectors like construction and energy, creates a structural conflict of interest. Mainstream media outlets with such ownership structures are often described as being reluctant to irritate the government.
• Technical Infrastructure: As part of Doğuş Media Group, NTV benefits from a strong technical infrastructure, including a state-of-the-art studio complex launched in 2012.
