Yavuz Baydar reflects on life as a Turkish exiled journalist

Exile journalist on the rapid decline of press freedom in Turkey

Can independent journalists still work freely in Turkey? What is life like for an exiled journalist in Europe? What are the implications of the recent EU and Turkish local elections for both journalists who remain in Turkey and those who have fled into exile?

Yavuz Baydar is an award-winning journalist, editor and analyst in Turkish and international media. Since the failed Turkish coup d'etat in 2016 Yavuz Baydar has had to live and work in exile. In conversation with Diana Huth, Yavuz Baydar analyzes the geopolitical implications of the 2024 elections and calls for greater support for exile journalism.
