The Press as a Propaganda Weapon

A first book on the most discussed topic today! Censorship, oppression and guidance in the world and in Turkey. In this book, Öymen explains, from past to present, what leaders in the world and in Turkey have done to prevent the public from learning the truth. Censorship, oppression and punishment are the most frequently used methods. There are journalists who bravely resist and fight against these, who are the honor of their profession, and there are those who bow down and accept being a propaganda tool of the governments...

There are those who are willing to go to prison or even sacrifice their lives, and there are those who accept embedded journalism... In Turkey's press history, short periods of freedom are followed by periods of oppression and oppression. In addition to those who use their pens to praise the occupation forces, there are also those who risk death while courageously defending the War of Independence. Today, unfortunately, Türkiye lags behind most of the world's states in press freedom. Those who fought for freedom and democracy during this period will be the pride of future generations.
