Message from the Chairman of Board

Dear Stakeholders, Business Partners, and Employees,

The year 2025 was marked by the increased impact of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainties, and technological transformation around the world. While regional conflicts, vulnerabilities in supply chains, fluctuations in energy markets, and shifting trade balances reshape economic and social life globally, digitalization, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and next-generation communication technologies have brought about a radical transformation in the media industry.

In an era where information spreads rapidly, yet accessing accurate information becomes increasingly critical each day, the importance of reliable journalism has gained strategic value not only for the media industry, but also for the healthy decision-making processes of societies. As social media platforms, digital publishing channels, and AI-powered content production models transform media consumption habits, the importance of accurate, impartial, and responsible broadcasting has become greater than ever.

İhlas Yayın Holding does not merely observe this transformation, continuing its activities with the goal of being one of the organizations that lead the change by leveraging its deep-rooted publishing experience, strong brands, technological infrastructure, and experienced human resources. With our extensive media ecosystem, ranging from print media to television, radio to news agencies, and digital publishing to international news platforms, we uphold the responsibility of being one of Türkiye’s most established and influential media groups.

Our Group, which has adopted a reliable, principled, and responsible publishing approach since its establishment, continued its activities in 2025 with a publishing policy that prioritizes the public’s access to accurate information. Despite the rapid changes in the media industry, we have not compromised on our core values, continuing to integrate technology, digitalization, and innovative publishing models into our business processes.

Türkiye Gazetesi, which has maintained its editorial line and core principles since its inception in 1970, maintained its distinguished position in the media industry in 2025 thanks to its strong reader loyalty, reliable journalism, and extensive publishing experience. By supporting our strength in traditional publishing with investments in digital channels, we continued to offer our readers richer, more accessible, and higher-quality content on both print and digital platforms.

turkiyegazetesi.com.tr has increased its effectiveness in digital publishing with its accurate and fast news reporting approach, achieving a key position among our Group’s Dijital Varlıklar with technological investments that improve user experience, content diversity, and digital growth strategies. Our efforts to increase the reach of our digital platforms play a strategic role in preparing our media activities for the future.

Launched in 2024, Türkiye Today, our platform for news in English, has quickly become a strategic media brand representing İhlas Group’s international media vision. Conveying Türkiye’s perspective on regional and global developments to the international public through exclusive news, analyses, interviews, opinion pieces, and in-depth reports, the platform significantly increased its content diversity, publication quality, and accessibility throughout 2025. Reaching readers in different parts of the world through its digital newsletters for various areas of expertise, a strong social media network, and a publication structure enriched by contributions from distinguished figures in academia, diplomacy, business, and think tanks, Türkiye Today is positioned not merely as a platform for news in English, but as a powerful communication channel that accurately and effectively conveys Türkiye’s economic, political, cultural, and strategic perspective to the world. In this regard, the platform strengthens our Group’s international visibility, while making significant contributions to the mission of amplifying Türkiye’s voice in the global sphere.

İhlas Haber Ajansı, Türkiye’s first private news agency, maintained its position among the leading organizations of its industry in 2025 with its extensive news network, robust technological infrastructure, high operational capability, and rapid news flow. Boasting an effective structure in 81 provinces of Türkiye and its representation network abroad, İHA remains a reliable news source in our country as well as in its region and the world. With its live broadcast infrastructure, video news production capacity, and technological equipment, İHA is one of the building blocks of our Group’s news reporting strength.

TGRT Haber continued to deliver Turkish and global news to its viewers quickly, reliably, and effectively, adhering to its philosophy of uninterrupted news broadcasting. It has complemented its experience in television broadcasting with a strong presence on digital platforms and social media channels. TGRT Belgesel continued to produce content for the public good with broadcasts that pass on our historical, cultural, and civilizational heritage to future generations.

TGRT FM maintained its unique position in radio broadcasting thanks to years of broadcasting experience and the strong bond it has established with its listeners, strengthening its position in our broadcasting ecosystem with its cultural, social, and societal content.

In 2025, our Group approached digital transformation investments in a more systematic and strategic manner. We continued our efforts to strengthen our digital publishing infrastructures, enhance data security, develop content management systems, improve user experience, and integrate next-generation publishing technologies into our business processes. By closely following developments in artificial intelligence, big data, and automation technologies, we focused on increasing the operational efficiency and competitiveness of our media assets.

Technology and infrastructure projects, spearheaded by our Dijital Varlıklar company, contribute to our group’s strong positioning in traditional media as well as in the technology-driven next-generation media ecosystem. Steps taken in data center infrastructure, digital publishing solutions, content management, and platform technologies support the sustainability, flexibility, and adaptability of our publishing activities for the future.

Our efforts on social media platforms expanded the reach of our digital publications, while content projects developed for different target audiences contributed to the growth of our media ecosystem. The media industry is no longer bound by news production alone, as it is transforming into a multidimensional structure that collectively manages technology, data, content strategy, and user experience. At İhlas Yayın Holding, we continue to accurately interpret this transformation, and position our brands in line with the future of publishing.

We conduct all our activities in accordance with corporate governance principles, ethical values, social responsibility awareness, and a sustainability approach. Relying on accurate information, maintaining the public’s trust, respecting our national and spiritual values, and prioritizing social benefit, our broadcasting approach remains our most important guide.

Our goal for the upcoming period is to continue our sustainable growth in the media industry with our strong brands, technological infrastructure, experienced human resources, and innovative vision to strengthen our investments in digitalization and bring Türkiye’s voice to wider audiences. At İhlas Yayın Holding, we will continue our journey with the goal of being a Group that not only meets today’s needs in the evolving media world, but also shapes the broadcasting standards of the future.

On this occasion, I would like to extend my gratitude to all our colleagues, business partners, readers, viewers, listeners, and our valued shareholders who have contributed to our success and placed their trust in us. I fully believe that we will achieve even greater success in the upcoming period.

Sincerely,

Ahmet Mücahid Ören
Chairman
