More than 130 media outlets shut in Turkey
The Turkish authorities have announced the closure of 131 media organisations, as a crackdown continues following the failed coup on 15 July, BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36910556 writes.
According to the source, 3 news agencies, 16 TV channels, 23 radio stations, 45 papers, 15 magazines and 29 publishers will be shut.
Arrest warrants have been issued for 47 staff. Many of the media outlets are linked to the US-based cleric Fetullah Gulen.
After the attempted coup, the government feels vindicated in its suspicions - and the state of emergency has given it the power to act.
But the accusations are growing that it is not just Gulenists but also critical journalists with no proven links to the movement who are being targeted.
Among those discharged from the armed forces are 87 army generals, 30 air force generals and 32 admirals.
