Today the reader’s biggest problem is not getting hold of information. The real problem is finding the answer to “What actually happened?” among misleading headlines, tiring adverts and a polarised media language. We are here to quiet that noise and to make reading the news simple, transparent and many-layered again.
Our editorial vision: the core of the news
We do not produce raw news copy. We follow hundreds of news outlets through the day and put the news agenda through a careful filter.
- The core, not the whole story. Instead of long agency copy and leading paragraphs, we publish a short, verified summary of an event, with clear sources. Every summary names the sources it is based on and links to them.
- Cross-checking. Every summary is compared with its own sources before it is published. No claim or forecast that its sources do not support makes it into our summaries.
- Public responsibility. We report on people in public office and on institutions, and we protect the private lives of ordinary people. Even when a source has printed them, we do not publish the names, identities or addresses of victims, witnesses and children who are not public figures.
News scopes
One window is not enough to read the world. That is why the site has several news scopes. Each scope follows the news of one country or region through its own sources.
- Türkiye: We publish the news of Türkiye in 14 languages: Turkish, English, Arabic, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Japanese, Persian, Urdu, Bengali and Korean.
- Global, Russia, Middle East and China (coming soon): We will launch these scopes soon, to open new windows for our readers.
What sets us apart
The spread of sources. On every story you can see which sources reported it. We classify sources by their editorial line. This is not a verdict; it is a map that makes our work transparent. The sources’ logos sit on a line on the story cards, so you can see at a glance whether a story is covered across a wide range or by one side only. When sources disagree on a fact, the story says “reports differ” and shows where they differ, without taking sides. We look for balance across the day as a whole, not inside every single story.
News series. We do not flood the feed with cards on the same subject. An event that runs for days, or even months, is gathered on a single story card, and each new development is added to that chain in date order. So even if you have been away from the news for a while, you can see the event’s history and background on one page.
Side panel and special pages
We want gazete.app to be more than a news feed: a living dashboard that also covers everyday needs with ease. We bring together small daily items and tools scattered across the internet, in a clean design. On a phone, the side panel opens with the compass icon.
- Agenda: the top headlines, the Official Gazette, Parliament’s agenda, On this day, world clocks, the public holiday calendar, the weather and more.
- Sport: an interactive Süper Lig table, and the week’s fixtures in football, basketball and volleyball.
- Statistics: inflation, interest rates, provincial populations, currency moves and cost-of-living indicators.
- Calculators: the calculators people need most, such as currency, rent increase and percentage.
- Favourites: star the boxes you always want to see, to add them to your favourites and bring them to the top.
Most boxes also have a page of their own: charts for the dollar, BIST 100 and gold that show the values as you move over them; prayer times for Türkiye’s 81 provinces and for cities around the world; world clocks, On this day, match results, pages for the people in the news, and calculators that run on official data.
Reading your way
- Categories: Browse the Politics, Economy, National, Foreign Affairs, Sport, Culture and Tech pages, and read only the areas you care about.
- Saved and following: Save stories to read later. Follow the people, institutions, companies and clubs named in the news with one tap, and see new stories about them in one place.
Games (coming soon)
We see gazete.app not only as a place to get information, but also as a place to rest your mind. Brain teasers and puzzle games that play in the browser, with nothing to install, are on the way for a short break from a busy news day.
Our publishing principles: neutral words, zero opinion
- Clean language: We do not use loaded adjectives. We use the names people and parties use for themselves. We attribute a claim to whoever made it. We do not write it as fact.
- No opinion: We publish no opinion pieces or columns. We support no party, candidate or policy.
- Open corrections: If you see a mistake in a story, you can tell us on the corrections page. We check it against the sources and, if there is an error, we correct the story. We do not quietly delete a story to hide a mistake.
Reading is free
We have no plans to show adverts on the site any time soon. Once every feature in our vision is live, we plan to offer some features for a very low monthly fee.
In short
We respect our readers’ time, minds and perception. gazete.app is not an opinion site that tells readers what to think. It is a plain, transparent and balanced guide to the news.
Nothing on this site is investment, financial, legal or tax advice. Rates, prices and market figures are for information only and may be delayed.
