The daily newspaper “Anafartalar” of Canakkale published today a frontpage editorial apologizing to the Jewish community of this city.
Some months ago the newspaper published two violently anti-Semitic editorials, after which Jewish community leaders appealed to the public prosecutor for protection. The prosecutor, on a complaint signed by Jewish community leaders, began a libel action against the newspaper which ended with the public apology.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
