Cumhuriyet

This article is about the Turkish daily newspaper. For other meanings see Cumhuriyet (disambiguation).

Cumhuriyet ([dʒumhuːɾiˈjet], Audio-Datei / Hörbeispielpronunciation? /i, German "Republik") is a Turkish national daily newspaper with editorial headquarters in Istanbul. It is among the oldest daily newspapers in the country. It was founded in 1924 by journalist Yunus Nadi Abalıoğlu. The weekly Cumhuriyet Hafta first appeared in Germany in 1990 with a special edition. The paper's line, previously considered center-left, was changed to Kemalist-nationalist by the foundation's newly elected board in September 2018.

Media journalists described the newspaper as serious, intellectual and partly investigative. In contrast to many other daily newspapers, it has a text- rather than image-heavy design and, unlike the large tabloids, uses a differentiated style of writing. The newspaper reaches a circulation of about 75,000 sold copies. Eurotopics describes it as "one of the last opposition newspapers in Turkey".

Awards and honors

On September 22, 2016, it was announced that the newspaper would be awarded the Right Livelihood Award, known as the "alternative Nobel Prize."
