It is not that bad though. I don't know about Turkey, but there we have pretty big social media community, and most of news comes from it nowadays. Blogs (livejournal is alive here), youtube, twitter, specific forums etc. It is also very biased, filled with payed bots, somewhat censored and controlled by big players, but at least it has quantity, and quantity leads to some variety. For example, official media mostly silences ethnic and migrant crimes (sometimes it looks like we are in Germany), but social media still can discuss it.

And, to be honest, is there are difference between some guy who posts video on youtube and some guy who posts video on youtube and calls himself "journalist"? Second one often just more narcissistic and thinks that he is very significant to humanity, but nothing more. Maybe we are missing large journalist investigations with good quality, but they are rare anyway. "Official" journalism is dying everywhere, US media is a good example of that process.
