Duygu Güvenç

She has a strong instinct for news and an ability to see what would turn into national and international headlines in Turkey's chaotic newsline. She started her career as a diplomatic correspondent in Ankara, covering dozens of summits, crises and key accords. After joining a fellowship program in Washington for a year, Duygu founded and directed a digest under the flag of a conventional media institution for five years until she decided to part ways to lead a fully journalist-run newsletter.
