The “Publisher” in Law No. 5187

|---|---|---|
| Broadcaster (title) | Press Card Regulation Art. 23 | A staff title at Anadolu Agency |
| Publisher (imprint) | Law No. 5187 / Official Announcements and Advertisements Regulation Art. 36 | The person or organisation that carries out the publication |

Conclusion
The title of broadcaster appears in the Press Card Regulation only in the Anadolu Agency list, and in four grades: chief broadcaster, senior broadcaster, broadcaster and assistant broadcaster. It should not be confused with the “publisher” in Law No. 5187 and the imprint legislation: that means the person or organisation carrying out the publication and must be shown in the imprint.
