Yeşil Gazete (in English: Green Newspaper) is one of the oldest digital native media outlets in Turkey and operates under a non-profit foundation.
It was launched in 2008 by professionals with backgrounds in science, environmental activism, and green issues. Over the years, the website established an institutional structure to formalise its professionalism in journalism.
An editorial board of six members advises the outlet on the green economy, agriculture, water, and food. A network of local freelancers reports nationwide through text and video on environmental issues. Some volunteers from the community manage some of the products, such as the newsletter and social media accounts.
The organisation finances itself through grants, donations and advertising. However, in line with its values, it chooses which advertising to accept to avoid companies aiming to greenwash. In 2023, it plans to launch a video production service as a revenue stream.
Yeşil Gazete is eager to produce more information in cross-border collaboration with other newsrooms, focused on the European climate crisis.
