Press Freedom in Turkey
Kadri Gursel, a contributing writer for Al-Monitor and columnist for Milliyet, received the Press Freedom Award by the Journalists’ Association of Turkey (TGC) “in recognition of his efforts in the name of press freedom and freedom of expression over the past year, both in the national and international media.”
“Kadri’s reporting and analysis over the past year has been consistently bold, critical and accurate,” said Andrew Parasiliti, Al-Monitor's Editor and CEO, in a news release. “We are proud of his award, which is well-deserved.”
On June 26, Gursel testified on the “social explosion” taking place in Turkey and what it means for democracy before the US House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats.
