Balancing Journalism and Public Diplomacy: The Turkish Experience
摘要
This chapter explores the challenges of practicing journalism within public broadcasting organizations. For decades, the international news landscape has been dominated by Western networks, whose framing has shaped global perceptions of news and events. Many nations and their representatives have felt that their issues were not fairly represented, which negatively affected their global standing. In response, those who felt underrepresented or silenced by biased international news organizations began investing in media outlets to reach a global audience and ensure their voices were heard. This convergence of public diplomacy and journalism presents unique challenges, as many international journalists strive to balance their professional ethics with the demands of their sponsors. Türkiye has been navigating this complex landscape in its own way.
