I’ve been trying to crystallize what I mean by populists’ hyper-mediatization of politics.

How media isn’t just informing publics. It’s a site of politics.

This is by far the best example yet.

For anyone interested in how autocrats use audiovisual tools in their legitimation strategies…

For those working on how populists curate and instrumentalize history…

We give you… “selective revivification”!

I appreciate this @APSAtweets boost of my work with @JonasDraege!

Protests against media crackdown in Turkey.

The AKP has long engaged in media capture - cronyism, seizure, massive fines. But closures, arrests, “trustee” takeovers, and other moves to control public narratives are intensifying with a financial scandal.

#GazetecilikSuçDeğildir
BASIN HÜRDÜR, SANSÜR EDİLEMEZ.

Gazeteciler; basın meslek örgütlerinin çağrısıyla, halkın haber alma hakkını savunmak için 10 kentte sokağa çıkıyor.

Bugün Tele1'e kayyum atanmasının 1. yılı...

Son bir yılda onlarca gazeteci tutuklandı, televizyonlar ve haber siteleri kapatıldı, gazetecilerin sosyal medya hesaplarına ve binlerce habere erişim engeli getirildi.

Gazetecilerin tutuklanmasını, ekranların karartılmasını, sansürü ve baskıları protesto etmek için Kadıköy Boğa Heykeli önünde buluşuyor; haber alma hakkına sahip çıkan yurttaşlarla birlikte İskele Meydanı'na yürüyeceğiz.

Toplanmalar başladı.
