International Journalism School at BAU

One of the leading international media institutes in the US, "The Institute for Education in International Media" (ieiMedia), is holding a one-month international journalism school at Bahçeşehir University. Students from various universities in the US and Canada are attending the summer school, called "The Istanbul Project."

5 undergraduate journalism students are taking part in the program, which is supported by Bahçeşehir University's academic staff and facilities.

Using Bahçeşehir University as their base, participants will take courses including Turkish, photography, video, news writing and multimedia. In addition to classes, the reporters will go out into the streets to prepare news stories on many topics and interview experts in their fields.

In addition to stories on the city's cultural life through outlets such as Timeout and IstanbulEats, they plan to report on topics such as "Detained Students in Türkiye" and "Urban Transformation in Istanbul." The interviews and news stories prepared by the participants will soon be published online and in the magazine they will produce.
