Jake Ellison was invited Summer 2008 to join the Gatekeeper Editors Trip to Turkey by the International Reporting Project at The Johns Hopkins University.
These Web pages are an experiment in raw reporting. Political, military and cultural leaders in Istanbul, Ankara and Diyarbakir discuss their country's past, present and future. The content was all filmed, photographed, recorded and produced by Jake. The meetings were arranged by the IRP.
Because the individual posts are so media heavy, Jake is listing only the links to the posts and each one's content on this first page. Follow the links in order and you'll get the experience I (Jake ...) got racing from meeting to meeting and city to city in this culturally amazing country.
