What is Military Tutelage

Between 2002 to 2008, the media space and its capital structure have changed considerably. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has taken steps to dominate the media field in a short time. The mainstream central media that dominated a significant portion of the media area had a wide experience in power relations. As the AKP started building a new Turkey, privileged media groups, organized to effectively support Prime Minister Erdogan and reshape the media sphere, established a totalitarian language as a mechanism of social control and became a tool for material and discursive practices. The media began to act as a force following the condition of being native, national, and conservative, which becomes an essential part of the political discourse of power. In this process, the media established sharp pressure on the most indirect, the most limited individual or organized opposition and critical views.
