Best tips for journalists reporting on Turkey

Journalism is not a crime!

Journalism is not a crime!

I have often been asked why there should be Roma journalists, why there should be Roma media. The answer is simple. The task of the Roma journalist is to ask the questions that other journalists will not ask. Today I contacted the communication team of the President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola to request an interview regarding the MEPs from anti-Roma political parties, including those convicted of racism. She was re-elected at the first parliamentary session yesterday and it is logical to ask her for an official position as the presence of these people in Brussels calls into question Parliament's commitment to fighting antigypsyism. I am giving publicity to this because I think publicity is also a way to put pressure on the institutions. Freedom of speech is a European value that we should not give up in advance. How many people practice it? Why did we cede this right to the "bad guys"? How is it possible that we have access to so many social networks and yet we are so quiet and so careful? Self-censorship?

Technically what we see is a component of the Israeli Defense Forces kicking a journalist (civilian) in the head after murdering 20,000 other civilians since October 8, 2023. Structurally, what our world has experienced and permitted at a subconcious level since November 30, 1947 is Zionist racism kicking human civilization in the heart. While there are many parties to blame worldwide, the two-party and corporatist media structures in the United States are primarily to blame for allowing the incremental genocide and expulsion of Palestinians. These structures have subverted the executive and legislative branches of the U.S. government against the will of its people. In 2023-24, we the people in the U.S. and around our world can overcome such illegitimate structures by writing-in independents to all elective offices and boycotting legacy media.
