Sözcü (English: Spokesperson) is a popular Turkish daily newspaper. Sözcü was first published on 27 June 2007 by Burak Akbay and is distributed nationwide. As of June 2018, it was one of the top-selling newspapers in Turkey, with around 300,000 copies sold daily.
== Overview == The origins of Sözcü trace back to Gözcü (“Observer”), a daily newspaper published by the Doğan Media Group beginning on 15 May 1996. Gözcü ceased publication on 1 April 2007. Shortly thereafter, a group of journalists associated with the paper relaunched it under the name Sözcü in 2007. In its early period, the newspaper sold approximately 60,000 copies. By September 2008, its average circulation had reportedly risen to around 150,000, and by December 2010 it had exceeded 200,000 copies, becoming one of Turkey’s highest-selling dailies.
