I have reported from Turkey since 2010. For the past decade, I have been a regular contributor to The New York Times. My bylines include The Guardian and NBC News.
My reporting spans investigations, breaking news and features. I contributed to Pulitzer Prize- and Polk Award-winning reporting by The New York Times, and my work includes reporting and production for NBC News, BBC Eye and Deutsche Welle’s Plus90.
I have filed hundreds of freedom of information requests in Turkey, successfully challenged government denials in court, and work extensively with public records, data and network analysis.
I have published guides for journalists and teach how to conduct open-source research and submit freedom of information requests.
Earlier in my career, I reported for Turkey’s Radikal newspaper, where I received awards for my reporting on urban affairs, the environment and corruption.
I am a graduate of Columbia Journalism School and Brown University.
