We started the new day with training at the Home for Cooperation.
Even though it’s been 30 years in the profession, there is no limit to learning; the joy it gives is something else…
The unchanging reality is that one always needs to try, research and renew oneself, to keep standing and move forward…
We received training on how to visualize data and we practiced.
Founders of “Add Two Digital”, Adam Frost and Tobias Sturt, are experts in their field who have had important experiences…They’ve worked together with important media organisations such as the Financial Times, Google, The Guardian, The Lancet, and The New York Times.

We carried out an exercise over a comparison of “schools-mosques”
It just developed spontaneously…
“We want an important story where you will use visual data,” said the experts…
We told them, “There are 167 schools, and 312 mosques” in the northern part of the island.
82 mosques and 17 schools have been constructed since the war in 74.
They were not struck by the charts but by the figures!
***
“Readers are curious about striking figures and want to see them represented visually,” the experts told us…
We were just talking about this with our colleagues…
No one here is “shocked” anymore…
There is either indifference or a profound acceptance!
Barış said, “People are afraid”!
Ayşemden presupposed, “It’s more like lack of faith rather than fear.”
“Whatever we write there is no reaction, the whole place would be shaken if we were in another country…”

Bügün Kıbrıs wrote about the government’s “land handouts”.
Beachfront property worth millions of pound sterling is being leased annually for 12 thousand pounds.
Of course “for investment purposes” (!)
In any case, granting of favours and profiteering goes by the name of “investment” here!

Özgür Gazete for example brought “the parallel structure within the Police” to the agenda yesterday …
A friend told me, “You wouldn’t believe what’s going on within the police”…
“It’s boiling from within.”
The presence of “high-ranking” Turkish officers on duty within the Police force is known for some time now.
They’re working in different fields such as “Antiterrorism”, “Organised Crime”, and “Intelligence”.
And now there is a new claim.
Serhat İncirli had written about it but it was denied.
Serhat had claimed, “The Freedom Fighters complex [Translator’s note: a military-owned building complex in the old city] in Nicosia was given to a 200-strong riot police force to be sent from Turkey.”
According to a report from Özgür Gazete’s Pınar Barut, a parallel structure has been set up within the police force by teams sent from Turkey.
The hardest part is accessing the truth…
Who can you ask?
After all both the “President” and the “Prime Minister” are there by appointment…
In any case, whatever you ask them, their reply is “we asked for it.”
Or “it is within our knowledge…”
***
And now they’re teaching us how to present the striking figures visually!
Of course, they don’t know how “shocked we are ”…
Or what we have become from being constantly shocked…
