68'li ve Gazeteci

“… journalism also has universal rules. I tried to stick to these throughout my professional life. (…) What I know best is that I never forget the universal principle that journalists should support individuals and different communities against all governments. "I never ignored this principle during and after September 12, when I worked in the mainstream."

Tuğrul Eryılmaz, one of the leading names in the country's journalism, is a staunch 68er: He has always felt the enthusiasm of those "rebellion days", and in the Mulkiye days he dreamed of "creating a better world", which the youth of the period had, from Hüseyin Cevahir to Mahir Çayan to Deniz Gezmiş. A 68 player who has never lost anything. Eryılmaz is also a good journalist: He is a journalist who knows that journalism means "being the voice of the voiceless", who has no mercy against the powerful, and who pursues what he thinks is right.

In his long interview with Asu Maro, Tuğrul Eryılmaz talked about the meaning of being a 68 member in Turkey and the world, his friendships of that period, his testimonies, his journalism adventure from TRT to Nokta, Yeni Gündem to Sokak'a and Radikal İki, his acquaintances. He describes dozens of people in his unique colorful, sharp-tongued style, without hesitation.
An enjoyable interview with a 68-year-old, which can even be seen as a textbook on how journalism should be done, revealing with examples how journalism was once done and how it is not done today...
