Hello,

Turkey stands at the world's geographic and political crossroads. In recent years it has become one of the most closely followed and frequently discussed countries.

Turkey is growing closer to the Western world for many reasons: relations with the EU, globalization, intercultural interactions and increasing economic and political interdependency.

Global tension is growing, making communication between different societies, cultures, religions and languages necessary. Since Turkey is not immune to this process, we need to find new media that assures credible news and trustworthy information and analysis for those interested in the country's socio-economic and political development.

One of the best media to accomplish this is an English daily newspaper with an open-mind and visionary perspective. And Today's Zaman will fulfill this duty.

With the support of the Zaman media conglomerate and its sister agency, Cihan News Agency, Today's Zaman is expected to have the largest circulation among the English dailies in Turkey. Today's Zaman is published six days a week and features a weekend edition on Sunday (Sunday's Zaman) with a different look and feel.

Today's Zaman is filled with national and international news on business, diplomacy, politics, culture, arts, sports and economics, in addition to its commentaries, specials and features.

Its weekend edition focuses on in-depth analyses, commentaries, op-eds, features and specials on cultural and social events and items on leisure and entertainment.

Today's Zaman and Sunday's Zaman feature 20 pages in full color. Both papers use articles from Zaman and Today's Zaman's local and international correspondents. Its coverage is boosted by stories provided by Cihan News Agency, The Associated Press, Reuters, Anatolian news agency and ANKA. It features numerous exclusive columnists and opinion writers. Today's Zaman has also established collaboration with the Times of London, Project Syndicate, Los Angeles Times and the Washington Post.

With its fairness and objectivity, Today's Zaman has gained a prestigious position among Turkey's other English daily newspapers.

Thanks to the Zaman conglomerate, its unique home delivery system gives Today's Zaman a distribution area that no other English daily in Turkey could hope to compete against. We believe a daily circulation of 30,000 is within Today's Zaman's grasp.
