Abstract :Takvim-i Vekayi started to be published in 1831 and was the first Turkish newspaper published in the Ottoman Empire period. The number of newspapers published in the Ottoman Empire started to increase after 1860. As a result of the increase in the number of newspapers, conflicts between newspaper owners and employees increased. In such cases, newspaper employees often went on strike to protect their interests and ensure that their demands were accepted. However, due to the lack of legal regulations to protect their rights, newspaper employees sometimes adopted different methods of struggle. One of these methods was to publish newspapers against newspaper owners in order to fight against them with the same medium. In the history of the Turkish press, newspaper workers were able to publish their newspapers against their newspaper owners twice, in 1923 and 1961. In 1923, the typesetters published a newspaper named Haber (News). In 1961, the journalists published a newspaper called Basın. As journalists gained relative legal security in 1961, they did not take such an action again in Turkey.
