Falih Rıfkı Atay, who began journalism in 1912 in the Tanin newspaper, which was the broadcast body of the Alliance and Terakki Society, continued journalism uninterrupted until his death in 1971. In the heavy conditions of the years of Mutareke, in 1918, with his close friends, he issued the Evening newspaper and supported the National Struggle. During the Republic in 1923. He was a member of the TBMM. In the same year, he worked in both the Evening newspaper and in the Justice/Millions/National newspaper. Atay, who was a member of the parliament along with journalism between 1923 and 1950, was among the important summer elites of the time. Atay, which is one of the names in the world of Atatürk, remains heavily attached to the values of the Republic and to Atatürkçülü. Atay, which is considered the "Chankaya's penshore", has been a spokesman of the power, an important representative in the press, beyond being a regular journalist. That is what Atay has always been writing. Falih Rıfkı Atay is one of the influential opposition journalists after a multi-party political transition. In 1947 he left the post of headwriter in the National newspaper and in 1952 with Bedii Faik Akın released the World newspaper and continued a very effective opposition against the Democratic Party. In the years that he was not in power, he also preserved the importance of what Atay wrote. Specifically, the criticism of the DP power doses that are increasing over the course of the day are actually a message of what the DP will live. Because the process of the 1960 military coup, the tensioned environment, is possible to follow from his writings. One of the important developments on the agenda of Atay after the coup was the prosecution in Yassı.
