Turkey does not (currently) have a robust media. It has a very high rate of incarceration of journalists.


Not really what I refer to by robust media. I'd say 200+ private TV stations, hundreds of radio stations, 40+ national daily papers qualify to call it "robust". IMO high number of incarcerated journalists is more reflection on the government that ,though democratically elected, does not seem to understand you can't really have democracy without respecting individual rights and freedoms.
