The digital news report 2017: Turkey supplementary report
- Abstract:
- This supplementary report from the 2017 Digital News Report provides a detailed examination of the Turkish data on how people access news. It shows that the figures for overall trust and distrust in Turkish news media are both remarkably similar, indicating a very polarised society and how this is reflected in media use. While distrust is high generally, social media has the highest level of distrust in news overall. It is striking that the use of Facebook and Twitter for news has fallen sharply, whereas the use closed messaging services like WhatsApp to share news has risen markedly. This may be linked to fears of government surveillance. The report finds that interest in news is very strong in Turkey but news avoidance is also very high, with Turkey at the top of the list for avoiding news across the 36 markets in the survey.
