Kemal taught in @AnkaraUniver for four years and was a @risj_oxford Journalism Fellow in 2017. In 2019 he founded the podcast and online news platform @kisadalgamedya, where he is currently the editor-in-chief kisadalga.net
Kemal published this paper in 2018 on reporting on human rights violations in Turkey. He surveyed 133 Turkish journalists, 20% of whom worked for pro-government outlets. All of them feared prosecution for their work & frequently self-censored their writing reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/our-research/r…
"Even if Turkey is no longer the world’s biggest jailer of journalists, the risk of imprisonment and the fear of being subjected to judicial control is ever-present. The government controls 90% of the national media"

A good primer from @RSF_inter
rsf.org/en/taxonomy/te…
"Ranked 153rd out of 180 countries in press freedom by @RSF_inter, Turkey remains a tough environment for independent journalism. Critical media outlets are under constant political and financial pressure," writes @nicnewman in #DNR21 Turkey country page

As in so many repressive countries, government opponents have turned to social media to protest. Amid the worst forest fires in decades last summer, social media campaign #HelpTurkey took off and in a matter of hours reached 2.5m tweets nytimes.com/2021/08/04/wor…
This paper recently published by one of our Journalist Fellows looks at a different angle: the fate of Arab journalists who sought refuge in Turkey after the twilight of the Arab Spring, only to end up in a similarly repressive environment

🧶 Highlights in the thread below
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
📰 On journalism

"There’s a tendency in journalists to think that a solution to every problem that has ever existed is more journalism. But news organisations have created climate desks and then realised they haven’t had the intended impact," says @wblau
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
📚 On wording

"Should we call it climate change or climate crisis? This problem is so vast and unprecedented in scope that we struggle even with what to call it," says @wblau

Wolfgang has worked at @condenastint, @guardian and @zeitonline. He has recently been a Visiting Fellow at @risj_oxford, with a focus on journalism and #climatechange.

🎙 He discussed his work with @MeeraSelva1 in this episode of our podcast

📱 In July 2021 Wolfgang published this piece for @NiemanLab

"For news organisations, there could hardly be a more direct path toward being relevant to young readers than to start covering the climate crisis at least as intensely as they covered COVID-19"

👩🏾‍🏫 On his experience in Oxford:

"My experience at @risj_oxford was excellent pushed me to establish @kisadalgamedya, which has been one of the leading podcast news and investigative journalism platform in Turkey," says @kemalgoktas twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
🗳 On elections on 2023:

"2023 is essential for ruling party AKP because it will be the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. Electoral success would also mean Islam taking revenge on the Republic, which abolish the caliphate," says @kemalgoktas twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

What kind of news innovation we'll see in 2022?

💡 We've surveyed 246 media leaders from 52 countries to respond this question

📱Full report by @nicnewman here
reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/journalism-med…
🧶 5 charts in thread
1. There'll be more iteration than new ideas in 2022

🛠 67% of the news leaders in our sample say their main focus will be in improving existing products. Only 32% say they'll spend most of their time launching new ones
2. Lack of skills and resources seems to be the biggest barrier to innovation

👷‍♀️ 51% of the news leaders surveyed think the main barriers they encounter are the lack of skills to deliver solutions and the lack of resources. Strategy, not execution seems to be the key problem

Journalism has suffered greatly since the Taliban re-took control. The crackdown on independent media and the financial crisis has led to 250 media outlets closing, and the number of women journalists still working has collapsed, reports @Raksha_Kumar

First the good news:

👍 Even with the pandemic still raging and online traffic falling for many companies, 59% of the news leaders in our survey say their revenue has increased over the last year reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/journalism-med… Image
In the light of these figures, it’s not surprising that 75% of the managers surveyed say they are confident about their company’s prospects for 2022. However, only 60% say the same about journalism as a whole reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/journalism-med… Image
