Blogger, Concerned citizen, Foodie, Job-seeker, Journalist, Writer/Editor

I have been equipped with a wide range of experience in research, news writing and interviewing (especially for websites and magazines) in Istanbul and London, where I live now. I have been contributing voluntarily to The Guardian newspaper's website, Guardian Witness (a citizen journalism mobile application), and Erkan's Field Diary, a website on journalism, social sciences and cyber culture, which had over a million hits (erkansaka.net). I am blogging in Turkish about journalism as well as cultural activities and urban life in London here: http://londranotlari.wordpress.com To see my writing portfolio, please click: http://www.clippings.me/filiztaylanyuzak I have been professionally translating news stories from English to Turkish for nearly 4 years. I am proud and happy to be a volunteer TED translator. I completed an MA programme in European Cultural Policy and Management at the University of Warwick in 2008 and a BA programme in Media and Communication Systems back in Istanbul in 2006. My mother tongue is Turkish, but I speak fluent English and French.
