2 marks. Compare different Turkish media outlets - does the owner have an influence.

I recognize, that in today's Turkey media owners control their media outlets through their political ideologies on the newspapers and on the commercial channels. They control the content of the news, the opinions, which will given to the audience for their benefit. Media organizations usually show the owner's ideologies. The bosses of the big media groups have close relationships with political parties. AKP has a key role in controlling the media. As an example, when Emin Çölaşan wanted to show people the reality, but he was fired by Aydın Doğan, whose authority is dependent on AKP. As newspapers, Sabah, Zaman and importantly Vakit, which includes a religios content, are under the control of AKP and they can not write something against the government. Also Star TV and Uzan Group published commercials of their owner Cem Uzan in the election time. All the channels and the newspaper in Turkey can not show the truth objecttively, because of politic ideologies and benefits of their owners. Instead of informing people, their aim is to adopt the ideology of the political party to the society. I think there is not freedom of media in Turkey and all these intrigues and duplicity are shame of the politicians for me.
