Experienced TV reporter Can Ertuna, who has been a correspondent for NTV for many years, organized two workshops on mobile journalism and reporting in conflict areas. In one session of the academy, the free speech and press freedom lawyer Veysel Ok informed the participants about media regulations in Turkey and also explained how they can protect themselves from increasing judicial harassment.
The 15 participants came from various provinces in Turkey such as Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Eskisehir, Ordu and Antalya and work for diverse media organizations such as Artı Gerçek, Gazete Fersude, Demirören News Agency and Mesopotamian News Agency. During the academy, they not only discussed the changing media industry and the pressure on journalists in Turkey with the instructors but also prepared news reports in practical workshops.
