Çukurova Media Group (Çukurova Medya Grubu) is a Turkish media conglomerate established, part of the Çukurova Holding conglomerate. On 18 May 2013 it transferred a substantial number of its properties to the state TMSF, in partial settlement of a tax debt.[1]

History

Newspapers

The newspaper portfolio included Akşam, Tercüman and Güneş. In January 2009, it acquired a stake in Editions des Deux Terres, a French publisher. The company's magazine portfolio includes Alem (lifestyle magazine launched in 1993), Autocar (launched in 1895), Fourfourtwo (football magazine launched in 2006), Stuff (gadget magazine), Total Film (film magazine launched in 2007), Platin and World Business (business and economy magazine launched in 2006), Maxim (launched in 2007), and Eve.

Çukurova suffered during the financial crisis,[2] and it closed down Tercüman in 2010.[3]
