What specialists earn in Turkey and abroad
The Turkish market. Istanbul is the region's media capital: TV channels, production houses, digital agencies and brand media hire journalists, producers and communication specialists. Digital skills — filming, editing, SMM, analytics — speed up the start. Because ranges are re-indexed annually with the minimum wage, treat any salary figure as valid for its year only.
