New-Exile Journalism as a Symptom of Violent Accumulation: The Case of Turkey

As editor of this section, Eylem Çamuroğlu Çığ is following the traces of the violent accumulation that leads to the transformation of media and triggers ‘new-exile journalism’, among other things. She draws the theoretical framework of the forced migration of journalists from Turkey to Germany, which accelerated after the Gezi Resistance in 2013, and at the same time to underline the potential of new-exile journalism for the future of journalism and democracy in terms of transnational experiences. This chapter theoretically analyses the transformation of media in Turkey and emphasizes the unique characteristics of the repression of media and journalists in Turkey with regard to the characteristic coupling of neoliberalism with political Islam.
