Press, one of the most effective use tool of the freedom for expression, has an unarguable importance because of its place in pluralistic democratic regime as fourth force. As press takes its legality from this view which sees itself as a part of democratic regime, similarly the government ensures and certify its legality and security with the media’s supervision power.. This right that can be used within responsibilities is limited by certain reasons as all other freedoms. Although these limits range in different communities, the verdicts of European Court of Human Rigts show the increasingly tend to restrict the scope of the article in democratic countries. The ECHR, which is an international jurisdiction in the field, leaves a relatively broad margin of appreciation to contracting states, particularly in matters shaped by the heritage, cultural traditions and customs of societies, such as general morality and religious values, and adapts to the decisions of local authorities. As a matter of fact, the Court has developed various criteria for general morality as well as for the reasons of other legitimate restrictions and subject the case to a detailed assessment of the criteria.
