Journalist-writer Yazgülü Aldoğan was dismissed from Posta Daily. A columnist at the newspaper since August 2009, Aldoğan is known to write on the situation of military school students during the July 15 coup attempt cases. The journalist wrote her last column on July 12th.
Announcing the matter on her social media account, Aldoğan wrote that an embargo was imposed on her columns for three weeks. “The Demirören Family may not like my opinions, they may not want to work with me… However, what could possibly be the reason for me being fired from the place I’ve been working at for 20 years, without compensation, with all my rights being ignored,” Aldoğan said.
Pro-government Demirören Holding had purchased the Doğan Media Group, including Hürriyet Daily, Posta Daily, Fanatik Daily, CNNTurk, Channel D, Yay-Sat and Doğan News Agency within for 916 million dollars last May. Many media workers and executives were dismissed from the purchased media institutions since the acquisition.
