VOICED : Alternative media on the rise as Turkey cracks down on press

A journalist in Turkey faces trial for allegedly spreading terrorist propaganda amid a media crackdown following a failed coup attempt. The government has detained journalists and shut down numerous news outlets, making it difficult to report news. Journalists have turned to platforms like Periscope to broadcast news, especially in Kurdish areas where media is accused of supporting the PKK. Despite challenges, journalists continue to report using alternative platforms, often relying on volunteers. Turkey ranks low in press freedom, but journalists remain determined to defend their rights.
