Press Council “In the curfew, the mistake of stopping the sale of newspapers and the public’s right to be deprived of the right to receive news should be returned as soon as possible.” titled description is as follows:
* In addition to a series of measures taken for the health of the public regarding the corona virus pandemic, the curfew that was brought to the 30 + 1 big city late at night caused the public to be deprived of the news.
* With the closure of all workplaces other than basic services such as bakeries, water sales and cargo transportation for 2 days, the dealer where the newspaper was sold, the buffets were not excluded from the scope of the ban, and the newspapers did not enter the distribution. This situation prevented the public from accessing the news.
* In addition, the “curfew”, which was brought in just at the time when newspapers were printed and distributed, also caused a great loss of newspaper businesses.
* Newspapers prepared with great effort were trapped in bales and in packages that could not be tied. In fact, it should not be forgotten that the imprisoned is news.
* We remind you that this victimization in the 30 + 1 big city, where there are millions of people and the ban imposed by the circular of the Ministry of Interior, should be eliminated immediately.
“INTELLECTUAL SITUATION”
* We would like to consider that the newspaper sales places that can be kept open at certain intervals are excluded from this prohibition, and that the ways of public access to the newspaper are kept open.
* We see it as an irrational situation that the great effort given by the newspaper administrations with many press employees who continue their work in great sacrifices under very difficult conditions, with the last minute ban.
* For the “curfew” decisions, which are announced to last for 2 days now, we expect the newspaper employees and newspaper outlets to be carefully considered.
