- With the majority of Turkey's media long under government control, independent media outlets have faced a variety of pressures since the February 6 earthquakes, ranging from detention and bullying of their reporters on the ground to financial penalties and broadcasting bans.
- The instructions were confirmed by an editor from one of those media outlets, who requested anonymity.
- He described seeing colleagues from pro-government media crying in desperation because they were unable to report on the ground realities.
