ABOUT US
Albayrak Group stepped into the media industry in May 1998, when it acquired Yeni Şafak, one of Turkey’s most respectable newspapers, which had been in circulation since 1995.
Published daily with the slogan “Turkey’s accumulation,” Yeni Şafak is one of Turkey’s most influential newspapers as it advocates democracy and politics and adopts a brave and honest perspective building on national and spiritual values.
TVNET, on the other hand, was launched in 2007 to broadcast latest events in Turkey and the world round the clock. TVNET tackles news that is not typically addressed on news programs, and makes a difference with an informative broadcast on culture and art, education, health and life.
Progressing to magazine publication in 2012, Albayrak Medya is now an industry leader with the monthly Derin Tarih, Nihayet, Gerçek Hayat, Z Raporu, Lokma, Cins, Skyroad, Bilge Çocuk and Bilge Minik, as well as the Post Öykü, which is issued bimonthly.
In 2013, Albayrak Medya began redirecting investments towards digital platforms and has since been managing, under the Piri Medya brand, platforms with a high follower count, including yenisafak.com and gzt.com (Arkitekt, Mecra, Zpor, Gazete Manşet, GZTMZT, Jurnal.ist) as well the digital communication processes for all publications of the group.
With its motto, “Written words remain,” Ketebe Publishing commenced publishing in 2018 and is the most recent Albayrak Medya brand in book publishing. Active in a wide range of forms and genres, from novels to poetry, history to essays, and classics to children’s books, Ketebe aims to become a constant in Turkish cultural life.
Birlikte Dağıtım, which undertakes the sales, marketing, subscription and dissemination operations of the newspapers, books and magazines published by Group companies, and Reklam Piri, which carries out advertisement sales for Group platforms, are the two other prominent companies of Albayrak Medya.
