whatishappeninginistanbul and istanbuldaneoluyor web-sites are published to provide updated and confirmed news about the protests and resistance that started last week in Istanbul and other cities. The web-sites compile texts, photos and videos and also give access to featured content from Facebook and Twitter about the resistance. The mainstream media in Turkey – a country that has been mentioned as “the biggest prison for journalists” in the 2012 report of Journalists without Borders – turn a blind eye to the resistance that has spread from Istanbul to many other cities in and outside Turkey. The mainstream media have supported auto-censorship as a principle with regards to many significant issues, as it does now, and it is certain that this attitude is no longer acceptable. The social media has been playing a big role in terms of filling the void, and has become the platform of citizen journalism.
