–– Book review by Patrick SCIARRATTA*
In the Spring 2019, the Director of the Media Education Center in Belgrade introduced me to a new ‘Handbook for Journalism Education and Training’ from UNESCO (the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization, in Paris).
MEC Director Miomir Rajcevic introduced me to the ‘handbook’ that is in fact a full course workup, reviewing at first what has been called ‘fake news,’ but discusses the topic in much greater detail – and its title betrays its thoughts on the subject.
“Journalism, Fake News, and Disinformation” is the actual title. (Available free, at: https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000265552)

In mid- 16th century, an Italian family wanted their 11-year old son to be a Minister. However, in their home-town there was no Ministerial school. They decided to send the child to Napoli – by boat! In that era the Turkish corsairs (pirates) dominated The Mediterranean. They captured the ship in which the child was travelling. They brought the child to Istanbul.

August 10, 2019 by
SUNUŞ – 2 – ÖZET (2. ve son bölüm): Çok değerli sinema yönetmeni, senarist, oyun yazarı, düşünce insanı, oyuncu ve Z-1 Film Atölyesi‘yle birlikte birçok kültür ve meslek kurumunun da kurucusu ve eğitimci olan Yavuz Özkan (21 Temmuz 1942), maalesef aramızdan 22 Mayıs 2019 tarihinde ayrılarak, geride yeri doldurulamaz bir boşluk bırakmıştır.
Aşağıdaki söyleşi, Hürriyet-Gösteri Dergisi’nde Ekim 1995 sayısında yayınlanmıştır.
Bu söyleşi, Özkan’ın genel olarak o tarihe kadar yapmış olduğu filmlerinin genel bir çerçevesini çizmekle birlikte, artık edebiyete intikal etmiş olan Usta Yönetmen’in filmlerine ilişkin, kendi ifadesiyle geride bırakmış olduğu ve “Yavuz Özkan Film“lerini bilmeyen genç kuşak sinema öğrencileri, sinemaseverler ve genel izleyici ve de tüm merak edenler için, arşivlerden tarayarak* ve aradan tam 24 yıl sonra, online yayınlayarak her kesitten ilgilisine ulaştırmayı hedefledik.
