    I started working as a reporter at Cumhuriyet Daily (print) in 2011, and in late 2012 I launched Turkiye’den Siddet Hikayeleri. In 2013, I began writing news-stories, and then working as a full-time reporter for Daily Birgun (print). After a brief spell at Diken.com.tr (online), in 2018 I began contributing to Medyascope (online) as a multi-media investigative reporter, writing and producing videos on conflict, non-state violent organizations, political-economy of environment and energy. My first book Islamic State Networks (Tur. IŞİD Ağları) was published in 2018. Besides contributing to Medyascope, I work on independent research projects, and video productions as well.
