The Hürriyet Daily News, formerly Hürriyet Daily News and Economic Review and Turkish Daily News, is the oldest current English-language daily in Turkey, founded in 1961. The paper was bought by the Doğan Media Group in 2001 and has been under the media group's flagship Hürriyet from 2006; both papers were sold to Demirören Holding in 2018.{{cite web|url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/new-editor-in-chief-ceo-take-over-at-daily-hurriyet-132023|title=New editor-in-chief, CEO take over at daily Hürriyet |website=Hürriyet Daily News |date=May 18, 2018 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221224162958/http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/new-editor-in-chief-ceo-take-over-at-daily-hurriyet-132023 |archive-date= Dec 24, 2022 }}
Ideology
Hürriyet Daily News has generally taken a secular and liberal or centre-left position on most political issues, in contrast to Turkey's other main English-language daily, the Daily Sabah, which is closely aligned with the Justice and Development Party of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Another conservative competitor, the Gülen movement-run Today's Zaman, was shut down by the government following the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt.{{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/27/turkey-discharges-1700-officers-from-military-after-coup-attempt | title=Turkey coup attempt: arrest warrants issued for former newspaper staff | work=The Guardian | date=27 July 2016 | access-date=1 November 2017 | author=Chris Johnston and agencies in Istanbul}}
In May 2018, the new Erdoğan-aligned owners appointed a new editor and publisher and stated that they intended to run the paper as an independent, non-partisan voice, in implicit contrast to both its previous secular orientation and the Daily Sabah.{{cite web|url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/chairman-demiroren-writes-on-hurriyets-journey-of-democracy-132022|title=Chairman Demirören writes on Hürriyet's 'journey of democracy' |website=Hürriyet Daily News |first1=Erdoğan |last1=Demirören |date=May 18, 2018 |url-status=live |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20230127210538/https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/chairman-demiroren-writes-on-hurriyets-journey-of-democracy-132022 |archive-date= Jan 27, 2023 }}
