Sophie Janinet Journalism & Communications

Journalism

 As a freelance journalist, I focus on issues I care about, such as feminism, human rights, and climate change.
Of course, if it’s for a good cause, I’m ready to go on camera, on the papers, or all over the web, to spread awareness of openness, tolerance, and inclusivity.

Few weeks ago, the European Court of Justice ruled in favour of the right of the European Citizens "to be forgotten" online. Complying to this decision, Google published last week a form on its website. Any of the 500 million inhabitants of Europe can now request the suppression of search results if considered armful to them.

As a foreigner living in Turkey for more than two months now, I'm always told by Turkish people that I can't understand Turkey as far as politics are concerned. But I think it's worth trying. In order to do so I interviewed three journalists of differing views.

Media Education

For four years, I have been a guest lecturer in the best journalism school in France (ESJ Lille).

This fantastic experience made me a strong advocate for media literacy, and fully equipped to organize a workshop for pupils as young as 15 years old. Media Education is fundamental to properly educate the future generation, to prepare them for the world, and help them make enlightened decisions as citizens and individuals.
