Radikal is a daily Turkish language newspaper, published in Istanbul. It has been published since 1997 by Aydın Doğan's Doğan Media Group.
Radikal does not endorse a particular political alignment but it is generally considered by the public as a social liberal newspaper. It is praised for its culture, arts, and interview sections, as well as columnists such as M. Serdar Kuzuloğlu, Hakkı Devrim, Yıldırım Türker, Türker Alkan, Altan Öymen, Nuray Mert. Hasan Celal Güzel, former minister of national education, Murat Yetkin, and Mustafa Akyol, son of Taha Akyol, also write for Radikal.
In 2007, Orhan Pamuk and Sezen Aksu became Radikal's temporary editors-in-chief on January 9 and 14, respectively.
Despite having a circulation of around 50,000,[1] it has a lot of public influence, guiding the main agenda of Turkey.[says who?]
