Why It Matters
Manşet Haber TV has been broadcasting with an impartial, objective, brave and accurate journalism approach for more than twenty years.
Headline Haber TV announced that access to social media accounts has been blocked. The following statement was made in the statement: "We do not accept the access ban on Headline News TV".
"Access to the X and Instagram accounts of Manşet Haber-TV, which has been broadcasting with an impartial, objective, brave and accurate approach to journalism for more than twenty years, has been blocked. This decision is a heavy blow to the freedom of the press and a clear attack on the public's right to receive news.
Sharing the truth with the public and impartial publishing does not deserve to be silenced. Our basic publishing principle is to defend the public's right to receive information without bowing to any pressure.
The access ban imposed on our social media accounts not only silences the voice of a broadcasting organization, but also limits the society's freedom to access different news sources. Blocking news sources does not eliminate the problems or change the facts.
As Headline News, we will always continue to bring different voices and opinions to the public. From now on, we will continue our understanding of journalism that protects the public interest and does not compromise on accuracy and impartiality, as we have done so far.
We would like to inform you that we will use our legal rights against this decision. The public's right to receive information cannot be prevented. The facts cannot be silenced. It is announced to the public with respect.”
