Criticism
Following the 2016 Turkish coup attempt, at least 35 journalists who had recently joined the company resigned,[3][4] including Director of News Juan Carlos Van Meek. One of those who resigned said: “I no longer hold out any hope that this channel will become what I wanted it to become (...) After the coup, it became very apparent that the channel had no intention of actually covering it properly, in a professional, international broadcast standard." The managing editor at the time said that he "never received a phone call from Ankara trying to frame the broadcast or give them talking points." [5]
