According to the Turkish official sources three news agencies, 16 television channels, 45 newspapers, 15 magazines and 29 publishers have been ordered shut down.
In total Turkey has dismissed nearly 1,700 military personnel and closed more than 130 media outlets amid a deepening crackdown that has stirred alarm in Turkey following this month's failed coup.
The military personnel that has been dishonourably discharged, is accused by the Turkish government for their role in the July 15-16 abortive putsch, where a faction of the military attempted to topple the government.
