Habertürk (literally: "News Turkish"), abbreviated as HT, was a high-circulation Turkish newspaper. It was established on March 1, 2009 by Ciner Media Group, drawing on the brand of Ciner's Habertürk TV. It ceased publication on 5 July 2018.[1]
The newspaper sold 360,000 copies on its first day of publication. At 10 hours local time, the first issue was sold out. The next day's circulation totaled 202,000. The newspaper circulation that day ranked fifth, following the dailies Hürriyet (448,296), Sabah (420,148), Milliyet (204,477) and Vatan (204,154).[2] At its first publishing anniversary in 2010, the newspaper sold 380,000 copies, breaking its own record.
Unlike all other newspapers in Turkey, Habertürk was the first daily to print in Berliner format in 350x, differing slightly from the standard Berliner.
Habertürk came out on weekdays with supplements HT Ekonomi (economy), HT Spor (sport), HT Magazin+Bulmaca (magazin plus crossword) and HT İstanbul/Ankara/İzmir (regionals). On weekends HT Cumartesi (Saturday) and HT Pazar (Sunday) supplements are added. On Sundays, HT Kariyer (Human resources) and HT Tarih (History) supplements are added without charge.
There are 22 columnists at the main newspaper. In addition, 19 columnists are writing for HT Spor, eleven for HT Magazin, twelve for HT Ekonomi and four more for the regional and weekend supplements. The total number of the staff is 68.
