Izmir Gazeteciler Sermiyeti Basmane'de St. Vukolos Church in the outbreak of the İzmir Press Museum, Izmir and the Turkish press is on the date of the date. The Press Museum is a story of Turkish press history, especially the Izmir and Aegean press. Visitors to the museum can read the page history of our press history and the process of this chapter.

The strong tradition of the Turkish press also comes to the surface in the museum. The İzmir Press Museum reveals the deep-rooted past of the written press in Izmir, the steps it has taken over time, and the reshaping of the "İzmir Medya" in accordance with the requirements of the times.

The various media used by the museum's newspapers and other media are exhibited from their original state to the most advanced models.

Even though the typewriter is still being used 10-15 years ago, it has become very difficult to find a typewriter today. We went from black and white photographs to color photographs, but with digital photography, we even forgot about the print now. Students studying at the communication faculty are trained with the tools and tools required by today's media, but they do not know from which stage the industry has come to today. Many of us do not even know how to write newspaper typewriters, photographic machines that are "negative", how newspapers used to be. The Press Museum, in this sense, is closing a gap. Journalists of the future are helping to keep up with the industry's past, knowing it, even though it has not.

The Massacre of Journalists!

The "last moments" of massacre journalists in Turkey are exhibited at the Izmir Press Museum. Almost every month in Turkey reminds us of a history of black news on behalf of journalists. In Turkey, many journalists from Hrant Dink to Ugur Mumcu and Metin Göktepe were massacred.

These massacres, which are not backed by the history of the press, are being tried to be prevented from being erased from memories in İzmir Press Museum, which the Izmir Gazeteciler Cemiyeti has opened for service in Basmane.

press-muzesi-Do not let our boys forget!

The history of the Turkish press has suffered so much in the last years. He paid a big price. Many names were slaughtered and the real factions were often unattainable. Journalists who wanted to enlighten the society were murdered for a while. Now the method has changed. Journalists wanted to be silenced are thrown into Silivri dungeons, taken into custody or tried to silence with the lawsuits.

This museum aims to not forget the memories of journalists, the process of change, massacres. In a sense, memory refreshes. We invite those who want to feel the "traces" in the last moments of the journalists working for the society who want to see the stages of the press to travel back to this museum in the past.

Izmir Journalists' Association Press Museum can be visited between 09.00 - 17.00 hours except Mondays.
