Contentious Elections
Recently, elections were held in Ankara to choose 3 members who will represent the Anadolu newspaper owners in the Press Advertisement Agency. Accordingly, the elections, in which two groups and 6 candidates competed, started to be quite contentious. However, claims that all elections have been contentious from the beginning are making themselves felt. But in today's era, and according to the picture seen in Ankara, the interference in the elections has become even clearer. The duty of press
advertisement and advertisement agencies is to distribute official advertisements from government offices to newspapers equally. In other words, they are in the position of patrons for official advertisement receiving and local newspapers. Accordingly, most of the newspapers that receive official advertisements have no chance to make changes or differences in this regard because they are part of the Press Advertisement Agencies. In recent weeks, claims that the Press Advertisement Agency took sides in the elections held in Ankara to choose approximately three members to represent the Anadolu newspaper owners began to be confirmed. These elections are definitely conducted fairly.
Manipulation of Advertisement Lists
On the other hand, it was alleged that the lists were manipulated several times by the Press Advertisement Agency to influence the elections. In these stages, some newspaper owners with voting rights were removed. At the same time, there were also allegations that some provincial directors of the Press Advertisement Agency were pressuring official advertising newspapers. Accordingly, it is absolutely necessary for the Press Advertisement Agency to take sides from the beginning to the end of the elections. However, it should also be known that the memberships of the Press Advertisement Agency, which have been neglected for years, are chosen by individuals. As is known, recently, a law has been passed allowing anyone who wishes, including some individuals from Anatolia, to follow, and anyone who meets the required qualifications can easily put themselves forward as a candidate. Accordingly, the officials of the press advertisement group make changes by accepting the candidacies of different individuals every two years. Advertisement services have been developing increasingly in recent times. All buyers and sellers meet their needs and find creditors through these advertisement services, and conduct their mutual purchases and sales securely with the help of this sector.
