Selected Sputnik Twitter accounts, by number of followers Sputnik Poland: 3k Sputnik UK: 8k Sputnik Italy: 8k Sputnik Germany: 20k Sputnik France: 63k Sputnik Mundo: 71k Sputnik Japan: 82k Sputnik Arabic: 161k Sputnik International: 242k Sputnik Turkey: 613khttps://twitter.com/TheEconomist/status/1102309471546691584 …
True, Sputnik is only one of a number of foreign outlets to attract an outsized following in Turkey. See here (good read) https://twitter.com/ragipsoylu/status/1102582503641149440 … and here https://twitter.com/mahirboztepe/status/1102574653376262144 ….
DW Polish 3,5k DW French: 11k DW Russian: 178k DW English: 238k…The key distinction is this. In most countries where Sputnik operates, you’ll find very few politicians, academics, and journalists who trust it with their news. But you’ll find scores of them in Turkey.
not just sputnik, all of our press working for government, we have to look foreign sources. Dw Turkey: 281k Al Jazeera Turkey: 907k Bbc Turkey: 3m
Yeah, but only Sputnik is a propaganda outlet similar to the Turkish ones and part of Russias hybrid war.https://twitter.com/rutschberg/status/1102287111762444288?s=21 …
Follower numbers of some other international news agencies in Turkey: BBC Turkey: 3 million DW Turkey: 281K and increasing VOA Turkey: 105K There are two reasons for this: 1-Twitter is very popular in Turkey. 2-Turks search for alternative news sources to pro-government outlets.
Sputnik Sweden: 340. They gave up on March 11, 2016. :-)
People are so sick of pro-gov't media they want to hear different news than what pro-gov't media pumps. People don't care if it's pro-russian, pro-western or pro-arabian as long as it's not pro-gov't.
BBC Turkish: 3,02 Mn Deutsche Welle Turkish: 281k
We like shit in Turkey.
so true!
You‘ll attest to a narrower and more meaningful correlation when analyzing percentages over adult population. Also, as elections participation will show as well, compared to western audiences, Turks are politically more engaged and more likely to follow such political outlets.
But if we monitor the sputnik, we will see that sputnik is not a pro -AKP which is current government party.Contrary to it,sputnik news behave like an opponent.i mean that your analysis depend on a wrong hypothesis..
For comparison, BBC’s Turkish site has 3 million followers. I don’t mind some Russian propaganda sitting in the corner to challenge British propaganda on major world stories like Syria Iraq and Venezuela. Truth lies somewhere in between the two.
That is where the lack of press freedom brings one... combined with the absence of media literacy, it makes a whole nation open for any kind of conspiracy theory & propaganda.
Ozgur basin sadece yabanci medyanin turkce sitelerinde oldugundan dogal
