OdaTV (also known as Odatv.com, Odatv or odaTV), an online news portal based in Turkey, was founded in 2007. It is one of the most followed news portals in Turkey and according to the Alexa statistics, it is the 119th most visited website in the country.[2]
The portal was founded by Soner Yalçın and Cüneyt Özdemir. Özdemir soon left after a difference of opinion.[3] OdaTV was described in 2012 by the Committee to Protect Journalists as a portal which is "harshly critical of the government".[4] In the early 2011, Odatv case was initiated as part of the Ergenekon trials, with OdaTV accused of being the "media arm" of the Ergenekon organization. Twelve of its journalists were under indictment in connection with the case, which Reporters without Borders has called "absurd".[5] The court acquitted all journalists in April 2017 after the prosecutors failed to provide enough evidence.[6]
On 2019, OdaTV writer Nihat Genç left the newspaper to found his own newspaper Veryansın TV.[7]
