About us

Turkey recap is an independent, reader-supported news platform created to help observers, analysts and the rest of us make sense of the fast-paced Turkey news cycle.

We launched our English-language newsletter in Oct. 2019 and have since expanded our publications to include Turkish-language newsletters, in-depth reports and a variety of members-only news tracking tools available to Turkey recap supporters via Patreon and Substack.

Turkey recap is produced by the Kolektif Medya Derneği, our İstanbul-based non-profit association founded in Aug. 2023 to support and elevate news media and journalists in Turkey.

Our team members include Gonca Tokyol, Ingrid Woudwijk, Verda Uyar and Diego Cupolo, who co-founded the platform with Raziye Akkoç.
