Its goal was to inform the English speaking readers about the events in Turkey from an independent point of view. The beginning was difficult, as the financial situation was dire with only 20% of the expenses covered through advertisement and since the press freedom in Turkey is not as free as in other parts in the world, Çamlıbel was worried if the outlet will be able to keep on reporting.
