Reporting on Turkey and US foreign policy

Reuters journalist Hümeyra Pamuk talks about her experiences reporting on both countries since 2002

Hi folks,

Nick and I are back with another episode of the pod. This time we talked to Hümeyra Pamuk, a reporter at Reuters who covered Turkey 2002-2016, and for the past five years, has been covering the US State Department.

This means that she has looked at the Turkey-US relationship from both ends of the scope. I think that gives her a very rare perspective.

This episode is on the longer side, and we talked about a few different subjects, so I thought I'd give you guys timestamps:

  • 1m-15m: Hümeyra's early career, covering Turkey in the optimistic 2000s and turbulent 2010s

  • 15m-39m: Israel's war in Gaza and the US response

  • 39m-end: Turkey-US relations

Below is a video to give you an idea of Hümeyra’s itinerary recently:

As always, let us know what you think!

I’ve recently talked to a couple of listeners who have asked me to speak faster. I hear you. I’m working on it! But note also that podcast apps let you speed up the audio, so please feel free to do that. I personally listen to everything at x2 speed.

Luckily, you won’t have to do that for this episode though. Hümeyra talks like a normal person, so you should be fine.
