Established by Sinan Dirlik and Ulvi Yaman, friends for 30 years, Reportare is Turkey's first website dedicated to publishing in-depth interviews.
The organisation uses slow journalism techniques to publish extended interviews on a wide array of topics and focusing on social justice, the global climate crisis, and gender equality.
Reportare publishes video interviews and social commentary on Youtube. The site's content is heavily focused on longform essays and in-depth text interviews, accompanied with original pictures. Some of the video interviews get selected to be published on their website, too, with transcript and pictures. The insistence on long text formats has been loosened in the last two years with increased YouTube video content.
The founders prioritised editorial independence; since the outlet's launch in 2011, they have not sought advertising or grants. All the contributors, including technical maintenance and video editing, work voluntarily.
Reportare clearly states its ethics policy and team of contributors. Since the organisation does not have a legal entity, contributing journalists and YouTube hosts are legally responsible for the content produced on the website and the channel.
