Turkey coup attempt: Dozens of media outlets shut - BBC News - The closure of the media outlets and the dismissal of the members of the armed forces were announced in Turkey’s official Resmi Gazete.
The names of the media organisations have not yet been officially released, but local media suggest that while most are relatively small, provincial outlets, several dailies and agencies with a national audience have also been targeted.
Among those discharged from the armed forces are 87 army generals, 30 air force generals and 32 admirals.
Earlier on Wednesday, the authorities ordered the detention of another 47 journalists - just several days after similar warrants were issued for 42 reporters.
Those on the new list were mostly members of the now defunct Zaman newspaper, Turkish officials were quoted as saying by local media.
The Turkish army also revealed that 8,651 members, or 1.5%, of the nation’s armed forces took part in the failed coup.
