Following the publication of the foreign funds received by some media outlets in Turkey as news, and the announcement that ‘a new regulation will be brought to the media’, 23 international and national media outlets issued a joint statement. In the statement, it was claimed that critical and independent media institutions were targeted on the grounds that they received funding from abroad, and that the planned arrangements would further complicate media freedom and pluralism.
