The Counterpart in the Official Announcement Legislation
At internet news sites publishing official announcements the staff number is determined by category (Official Announcements and Advertisements Regulation Art. 59). We covered the detail in how many intellectual workers an internet news site needs and in internet news site categories and the General Category.
Retention of Content
Internet news sites are obliged to retain the content they publish for a certain period. We covered the detail in how long internet news site content must be retained.
Conclusion
The video editor is listed in the Press Card Regulation only in the internet news site list, in sub-paragraph 27/1-s. That title appears in no other publication-type list; in radio-TV and at Anadolu Agency the corresponding title is the editing operator. At internet news sites the quota is determined by the number of employees insured under Law No. 5953, and there is no limitation for those with 10 or more employees.
