Karagül started working in Yeni Şafak in 1995, and is known for his articles and columns focusing on foreign politics. He was appointed as the general editor of TVNET [tr] television in 2011.[2] Then in July 2012, Karagül was appointed the editor-in-chief of Yeni Şafak[2] of the Albayrak holding.[3][4] During his tenure the newspaper turned into an outlet which staunchly supported the Turkish Government around Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.[5][6][7] His articles are often cited in the international press[8][9][6][10] as he claims that the U.S. attempted to kill the Turkish president Erdoğan[8] supported the Turkish offensive in North-East Syria[9] or accused foreign brokers of leading an attack against Turkey by the means of financial terrorism.[11] He also assumed that Turkey is under attack by the U.S. who allegedly unleashed the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) on Turkey.[12] During the Nagorno Karabakh conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenians, he insinuated that missiles should hit the city center of Yerevan "accidentally".[13][14][15][16] Karagül resigned from Yeni Şafak in December 2020.[17]
