## About

Daily Sabah has a clear constituency: the Turkish government it reliably defends. Launched in 2014 as the English voice of the pro-Erdogan Sabah, it frames diplomacy, security and domestic politics for foreign readers from inside the country's pooled, government-aligned media. Watchdogs that map Turkey's captured press place it firmly in the loyalist camp, where the line between coverage and messaging is thin.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Owned by Turkuvaz Media Group, controlled by the Kalyon Group, a conglomerate widely tied to the governing establishment.
- **Funding:** Advertising and subscriptions, backed by a diversified parent conglomerate and indirect state support.
- **Focus areas:** Politics, diplomacy, business, security, and sport, for an international audience.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
