Organized by the International Press Institute (IPI) Turkey National Committee and co-hosted by Izmir University of Economics on its campus in Izmir on November 11, 2022, IPI’s second annual Turkey Media Symposium, entitled “Media Economy and Financial Sustainability”, brought together a new generation of young journalists and journalism students from across Turkey with international and local experts, journalists from the digital, visual, and print media sectors.
Through panels organized around timely themes such as “Financial Sustainability of Local Media,” “Reporting from the Field as a Freelancer” and “Financing Investigative Journalism” participants had a rare opportunity to engage with one another and debate how to build a new dynamic and sustainable media environment for Turkey.
