The Connection with Law No. 2954
The broadcasting principles, liability and organs of TRT are governed in Law No. 2954. We covered the detail in TRT legislation and Law No. 2954 and in the general broadcasting principles of TRT.
Conclusion
The broadcast inspector is listed in the Press Card Regulation only in the TRT list, in sub-paragraph 25/1-c, together with the desk supervisors, the foreign representatives and the middle managers. The last sub-paragraph of the TRT list (ç) covers generally the personnel charged with production and broadcasting within the scope of Law No. 2954 and Art. 548 of Presidential Decree No. 4; but under Art. 25/2, added in 2024, no card is given to those who do not work in the news field.
