In an era where “fake news” can go viral in seconds, the role of a journalist is changing. As a student at Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University, I’ve learned that being first is important, but being right is essential.

Journalism is not just about reporting events; it’s about providing context and truth to the public. For young journalists like us, our challenge is to use social media as a tool for transparency rather than just a platform for clicks. Digital storytelling is the future, but our foundation must remain rooted in traditional ethics.
