⭐ Core Definition: TRT World

TRT World is a Turkish public broadcaster which broadcasts in English 24 hours a day and is operated by the TRT and based in the Beşiktaş district of Istanbul. It provides worldwide news and current affairs focusing on Turkey, Europe, Africa, and Western and Southern Asia. In addition to its headquarters based in Ankara, TRT World has broadcasting centres and studios in Washington, D.C. and London. It is a member of the Association for International Broadcasting.

The network has been criticised for failing to meet accepted journalism ethics and standards for independence and objectivity, with some commentators calling it state media or a propaganda arm of the Erdoğan administration. TRT World states that it is financially and editorially independent from the administration, and that its news gathering is just like those of other publicly funded broadcasters around the world, with a mission to show a non-Turkish audience events from Turkey's viewpoint. According to Reporters Without Borders, Turkey in 2016 ranked 165th out of 180 countries in press freedom.
