In terms of journalism, there are many professional organizations or associations in our country and in the world. The Turkish Journalists Association is one of the most important journalism organizations operating in this field in Turkey. Beside determining and protecting professional principles, it is also active in upholding the rights of the journalists. The declaration, which was first created in 1998, has been revised with the need for renewal in today's changing conditions.
On 17 April 2019, there were articles that were removed, added and corrected by the update made on the declaration. With this study the effect of changing journalism due to social upheaval and technological improvements were made public in the updated “Turkish Journalists' Declaration of Rights and Responsibilities” drawn up by the Turkish Journalists Association. Within this context the old and new declaration has been examined according to document analysis and reinforced with face to face interviews.
