The future of the media and its financial structure were discussed at the 'Economy and Financial Sustainability of the Media' symposium organized by the International Press Institute and hosted by Izmir University of Economics. In the panel titled 'Sustainable Journalism in Local Media', European Journalists Federation Vice President and Turkish Journalists Union Manager Mustafa Kuleli, İzmir Journalists Association President Dilek Gappi, İZ Media Publications Coordinator Murat Atilla and Evrensel Newspaper Writer Özer Akdemir shared their views.
THE CONTRIBUTION OF CITY DYNAMICS IS IMPORTANT
Speaking at the panel, İzmir Journalists Association President Dilek Gappi emphasized that the way to create quality and original content in the local media is through the freedom of the press. Gappi said, “The issue of how and by whom the media organizations will be financed should also be addressed in a way that does not prevent the restriction of editorial freedoms. When we look at the digital revenue model in the local media, news that are agitated for 'click', that is, to be read more, or where the subject and content are completely different, are published. Maybe you will lose the trust of the reader in the future, even if the number of clicks increases at first. Reminding that the public and urban dynamics also have responsibilities, Gappi said, "The central government, local governments, non-governmental organizations, business world, in short, all dynamics that owe their city to the city they live in can strengthen the local media by buying at least one local newspaper every day."
