Gazete Duvar was founded on 8 August 2016 with the purpose of providing readers with a decent newspaper that is published online in line with universally accepted principles of good journalism and publishing ethics which is free of all political or economic concerns. Indeed, since it was established little over 3 years ago, Gazete Duvar has already reached some magnificent figures, still dreamed of by most major traditional media establishments, by having been visited by some 200K single users on a daily basis with a total 1 million page views. What’s better, the overall Internet traffic figures of Gazete Duvar are steadily on the increase without any decline whatsoever. In times of general and local elections, as well as during some important events, those numbers are raised up to 400K single users with more than 1.5 million page views.

Having initially set off with a team of 14 persons, Gazete Duvar is now supporting a total of 26 persons. In the beginning, there were 30 columnists, now more than 100 authors are contributing to the content. Gazete Duvar has managed to become “a bridge”, as to say, between the readers and the experts, who were eager to properly inform the general public even though they neither had any political motivations nor economic expectations. Most of the columnists were the people known as ‘Academics for Peace’ who were unlawfully expelled from their duties at universities by Presidential Decrees.
