What Ekonomist Dergisi does

Ekonomist Dergisi is a Turkish bi-weekly business and finance news magazine published by Big Medya Teknoloji A.Ş., a privately held Turkish joint-stock company headquartered in Istanbul (Üsküdar/Altunizade) with an Ankara representative office. It distributes nationwide in print through Turkuvaz Dağıtım Pazarlama A.Ş. and operates a parallel digital news portal at ekonomist.com.tr, serving Turkish business professionals, executives, investors, traders, and working professionals with coverage of the Turkish economy, Borsa Istanbul (BIST), currency markets, and sector-specific developments across technology, real estate, automotive, retail, tourism, education, and labor policy.

The company's product surface combines an editorial core with embedded financial utilities: a Döviz Çevirici (real-time TRY/USD/EUR currency converter), live BIST 100 indices and KAP (Public Disclosure Platform) disclosures, an Ekonomistler Sözlüğü (economics/finance dictionary), and a video gallery, all supported by active social channels on X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The underlying technology stack is a website-based digital news platform with cookie-based user tracking and personalization, without disclosed AI/ML capabilities, mobile apps, or external API products.

Ekonomist makes money through a subscription-based model (annual physical magazine subscriptions managed by Big Medya's reader services) combined with advertising sales operated by a dedicated in-house Reklam organization split between Istanbul and Ankara. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and there is no public stock listing, venture funding, parent company, or M&A activity recorded in the source data.

Direct peers

• Bloomberg HT: Bloomberg HT is a Turkish financial news platform (broadcast and digital) providing real-time market data, BIST coverage, and economic news, directly overlapping with Ekonomist's Borsa, currency, and economic-policy coverage.
• Dünya Gazetesi: Dünya is a long-established Turkish daily business and economics newspaper that directly competes with Ekonomist for the same business professional and investor audience, covering BIST, currency, sectors, and corporate news with both print and digital distribution.
• Para Dergisi: Para is a Turkish finance and capital markets-focused weekly publication with strong BIST, fund, and personal-finance coverage, serving the same investor/trader segment that Ekonomist targets through its Borsa and Yatırımcı Köşesi sections.
• Capital Dergisi: Capital is a leading Turkish monthly business magazine covering CEOs, companies, capital markets, and the economy, directly competing with Ekonomist's print magazine and digital portal for the Turkish business decision-maker audience.
• Forbes Türkiye: Forbes Türkiye is the Turkish edition of Forbes, offering business, finance, and entrepreneur-focused content in print and digital formats, directly competing with Ekonomist for premium advertising and executive readership.

Others

• Hürriyet: Hürriyet is one of Turkey's largest general-interest dailies with a substantial Ekonomi (economy) section covering BIST, currency, and corporate news; it is not a dedicated business publication but is a partial substitute for Ekonomist's reader and ad market.
• NTV: NTV is a leading Turkish news broadcaster with a substantial ekonomi and borsa digital section; while primarily a TV outlet rather than a print magazine, it overlaps with Ekonomist in covering Turkish business, finance, and markets news.
• Sabah: Sabah is a major Turkish national daily with prominent ekonomi, borsa, and otomotiv verticals reaching broad business readership; while not a specialized business magazine, it competes for Turkish business-news advertising and reader attention alongside Ekonomist.

Broad incumbents

• Financial Times: The Financial Times is a global incumbent in business and financial news with a strong digital subscription model; it competes with Ekonomist for the same Turkish C-suite and investor audience via international coverage and English-language reporting.
• The Economist: The Economist is the global benchmark business and economics weekly; although it operates at much larger international scale and is more politically oriented, it shares Ekonomist's brand concept of a business-news weekly and competes for senior Turkish executive readership.
