''Yeni Şafak'' newspaper was a primary source of disinformation during 2013–14 protests in Turkey. According to a report published by ''Hrant Dink Foundation'', ''Yeni Şafak'' was the primary newspaper generating hate speech against Gezi protestors.

On June 4 ''Yeni Şafak'' claimed that protestors who took refuge in Dolmabahçe Mosque during police attempts to quell civil unrest had consumed alcohol inside the mosque. PM ~~~~Recep Tayyip Erdoğan~~~~. said that they would release security camera footage of proving this had occurred. However, the imam of Dolmabahçe Mosque denied the paper's allegations and no footage was released to the public. Later, the imam (who is a state employee of the mosque) was transferred to a different city.

Later, the imam (who is a state employee of the mosque) was transferred to a different city.

The paper also claimed a headscarved woman was by attacked by a gang of shirtless protestors near Dolmabahce Mosque at a tram station on June 1, 2013. On February 14, 2014, several months after the end of the protests, security camera footage showed that there had been no attack on a woman wearing a headscarf by protesters on that date. The woman and Prime Minister Erdoğan had claimed in press conferences and political rallies that protesters had attacked her and her baby.

On July 14 ''Yeni Şafak'' published an article, called "The Horrible Istanbul Plan of the Gezi Protestors", on their website that claimed that Gezi protestors were conspiring to undermine the government by wasting water from the reservoirs supplying Istanbul. After the article became a source of mocking nationwide, ''Yeni Şafak'' removed the article from their web site.

===Other disinformation incidents===

On January 15, 2016, ''Yeni Şafak'' published a video purportedly showing live audience members of the prime-time Beyaz Show talk show chanting slogans in support of outlawed Kurdish ~~leader~~ [https://~~real-life-villains~~.~~wikia~~.~~com~~/~~wiki~~/~~Abdullah_Öcalan~~ Abdullah Öcalan] ~~~~. British investigative news agency D8 News published a forensic analysis demonstrating that the audio track was modified before publication, adding voices sampled from an unrelated protest. The article also presented evidence that ''Yeni Şafak'' editors likely attempted to cover up their claims rather than issuing a formal retraction. The falsification incident was subsequently corroborated and covered by other news outlets in Turkey.
