The Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) has issued significant warnings to some broadcasting organizations. It emphasized the need for media organizations to be careful when using archive footage and news sources.

RTÜK reminded broadcasters to verify the accuracy of news and to specify sources. These rules are not only legal but also form the basis of ethical journalism.

The council warned that media service providers who do not comply with the rules could mislead viewers and create unfair competition against compliant broadcasters.

RTÜK stated that it will impose penalties on channels found to have committed broadcasting violations. This situation has reignited discussions about media impartiality and independence.

In conclusion, RTÜK's monitoring process can contribute to a healthier media environment in Turkey. Compliance with ethical rules by media organizations is crucial for protecting the public's right to information.
