State minister Arinc: "We expect a lot from the media"

Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc yesterday said that despite advances in both traditional media and the Internet, sometimes the way news is depicted and discussed can have a detrimental effect on the public. At the "Communication Turkey 2009: Media and Communication" summit in Istanbul, Arinc said, "We call on the media to concentrate on reporting with a high aesthetic approach and protecting the public interest. Our country and the world aren't rosy pink. But they aren't made up of crises of madness either."
