Today's Zaman

''Today's Zaman'' (Zaman is Turkish for 'time' or 'age') was an English-language daily newspaper based in Turkey. Established on 17 January 2007, it was the English-language edition of the Turkish daily '' Zaman.'' ''Today's Zaman'' included domestic and international coverage, and regularly published topical supplements. Its contributors included cartoonist Cem Kızıltuğ.

On 4 March 2016, a state administrator was appointed to run ''Zaman'' as well as ''Today's Zaman''. Since a series of corruption investigations went public on 17 December 2013 which targeted high ranking government officials, the Turkish government has been putting pressure on media organizations that are critical of it.

, the website of ''Today's Zaman'' had not been updated since 5 March, while all archived articles prior to March 2016 were removed.

On July 20, 2016, five days after the military coup attempt, ''Today's Zaman'' was shut down after an executive decree by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; arrest warrants were issued for 47 former staff. ''Zaman'' was described by an official as the "flagship media organization" of the Gülen-led movement. CNBC described the newspaper as "what used to be Turkey's number one English daily" before its shutdown.
