About Me

I used to work as a print journalist for several newspapers, magazines and TV channels in Istanbul, Turkey; then I moved to academia. I'm teaching journalism at the university. I'm here for sharing ideas with those who are interested in what's going on in the real life, politics and political communication.

My Interests

Reading, writing, cooking, learning new things, meeting interesting people, having fun with friends, listening to good music, visiting new places.

I'd like to meet:

Real people from the real world to talk and comment about real things; not bullshit.

Music:

Blues and Rock.

Movies:

I got my MA degree in film studies... So, I do like many films and movie makers; such as Antonioni, Bergman, Leone, Bunuel, Truffeau, Almadovar, Tarantino and Miyazaki.

Television:

Trying not to touch if it's not necessary.

Books:

Little Prince.

Heroes:

All single mothers around the world.
