The state takeover of Halk TV, a major news channel in Turkey, signals a worrying trend in the country’s treatment of independent media. Milena Buyum, Turkey campaigner for Amnesty International, argues that this move is part of a larger decline in media pluralism. She highlights the appointment of state trustees, detention of journalists, and increasing limitations on independent digital platforms as part of a “brutal attack on media freedom in Turkey.” This crackdown on independent journalism has intensified significantly since March 2025, raising serious concerns about the future of press freedom in the country.
