We have a handful of good journalists/editors, one or two print and digital magazines, a few online media, and of course a few forums like defencehub, trmilitary, etc. Maybe one or two youtube channels, maybe not... And that's all there is. News ethics, news responsibility and credibility are limited in this circle. Of course, for those who want to learn more deeply, expert comments are also within this area. Unfortunately, when you go beyond this scale, it is a garbage dump. The state of the defense industry media in Turkiye, both in the mainstream media and in the opposition media, is deplorable. There are defense channels with tens of thousands of subscribers on youtube, but there is nothing but imbecilic content and fairy tales. Or there are those who are outright FETÖ apparatuses. Separate parenthesis, there are also ex-soldiers and intelligence officers, mostly Eurasianists, who go around channel after channel with a stick in their hands... These are also a separate case...
For me, the most reliable source is the information that comes from people I know here, whose ethical values I believe in, whose researcher personality I trust, and who are familiar with the details of the phenomenon/project under discussion, sharing the information they have obtained through their efforts and filtering it through their own filters. Not someone who pontificates with a stick on X channel in the mainstream media.
