***Tercüman: Halka ve Olaylara*** was a Turkish daily newspaper. It was founded in 1955 by [Kemal Ilıcak](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kemal_Il%C4%B1cak&action=edit&redlink=1) (1932–1993), and associated with the center-right. It was based in the now demolished [Tercüman Building](/source/Terc%C3%BCman_Building). It was temporarily closed down by the military authorities between 11 August and 3 September 1983 when there was [martial law](/source/Martial_law) in Turkey.[2] [Ayhan Songar](/source/Ayhan_Songar) published weekly columns in the paper between 1986 and 1989.[3] Another contributor of the paper was [Nevzat Yalçıntaş](/source/Nevzat_Yal%C3%A7%C4%B1nta%C5%9F).[4]

*Tercüman* closed after Ilıcak's death, and the name was acquired by the [Çukurova Media Group](/source/%C3%87ukurova_Media_Group) in 1997. In 2003 Ilıcak's family (including Kemal's son, [Mehmet Ali Ilıcak](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mehmet_Ali_Il%C4%B1cak&action=edit&redlink=1)) attempted to resurrect the paper, and a dispute with Çukurova over naming rights saw Çukurova hastily relaunch its *Tercüman* in January 2003, on the same day the Ilıcaks' *Dünden Bugüne Tercüman* appeared.[5] Çukurova suffered during the [2008 financial crisis](/source/2008_financial_crisis),[6] and it closed down its *Tercüman* in 2010.[1] *Dünden Bugüne Tercüman* was renamed *[Bugün](/source/Bug%C3%BCn)* in 2005.
