In memory of my close friend and colleague Dr Michael Ford, whose death has just been announced, here's one of the programmes we made together - sensitively presented like all his work. RIP.

The 6th consecutive #PressFreedom mission to #Turkey begins today, organized by IPI & joined by @ECPMF, @pressfreedom, @RSF_tr. We urge Turkey to withdraw 'foreign agent bill' before the parliamentary vote, as it threatens journalism.

"Bezos’ pre-emptive act of surrender damaged the reputation of a great newspaper. Robert Kennedy Jr will soon be forgotten. Trump 2.0, on the evidence of his most recent campaign appearances, is a rambling, unfocused shadow of his former self. He will do damage, for sure, but it may turn out that Musk is the one we should really worry about." My column https://t.co/yXNmwTKLuf
Meslek büyüğümüz Özgen Acar’ın ölümünden çok büyük üzüntü duydum. Onurlu gazetecilik yaşamına ek olarak ülkesinin arkeolojik ve tarihi zenginliklerini koruyan, kollayan, çalınanları yıllar süren emek ve azimle geri getiren Acar’ın anısı önünde saygıyla eğiliyorum. Ruhu şad olsun.
Diyenler, aralarında basın özgürlüğü savunucuları olduğunu düşündüklerimiz de var, sanırım son dört beş günde öğrendikleri ışığında belki biraz utanmışlardır.
Kimi meslektaşlarım gıyabımda “Sürgündeki gazeteci, Fetöcü” ne bilebilir, hükümet söyletiyordur” mealinde çelişki dolu ithamlarda bulunmuşlar. Son 8 yılda yaptığım bir çok özel “scoop”tan bihaberler veya görmezden geliyorlar. Gazetecilik yapıyorum. Kamu yararına.
