Case study Local news platform
Büyükçekmece Anlık
A local news platform with a business directory and a district guide.
Overview
Büyükçekmece Anlık is a Turkish-language news site covering the Büyükçekmece district of Istanbul and the surrounding area. Alongside the news itself, the site gives residents two reference tools: a directory of local businesses and a guide to public institutions and everyday places.
The platform combines a public news front end with member accounts, a reader news submission flow and advertising placements the publisher can sell to local businesses.
For readers
Follow breaking and local news by category, read full articles, comment, like and save stories, and share them to Facebook, X and WhatsApp.
For residents
Look up public offices, hospitals, schools, transit points and parks in the district guide, with addresses, phone numbers and a directions link.
For local businesses
Apply to be listed in the business directory, appear with category, address and phone, and buy display placements on the site.
