About Hilal
As a dedicated, curious, and research-oriented journalist, I have a considerable background in investigating, interviewing, reporting, photographing, and writing articles, short stories, and broadcast scripts for both print and online publishing.

Throughout my journalism career, I have gained extensive experience in gathering newsworthy topics, developing story ideas, researching reliable sources, and ethically creating news stories to boost public awareness and engagement through social media platforms. My primary focus has always been on refugee and immigrant issues, with an in-depth understanding of immigrant perspectives. I have produced numerous news stories on these topics, participating in various platforms and projects. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to proofread, edit, and translate stories for international media outlets such as the BBC, Newsweek, and The Sunday Times.

With many years in the media industry, I am comfortable working in both collaborative and independent roles, offering progressive analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective deadline management skills. My thorough and in-depth knowledge of current affairs globally fuels my passion for researching and analysing news, particularly in the fields of business and economics. I excel at investigating, analysing news, and leveraging editorial judgement to approach stories from the best angles.

Driven by my passion for journalism, I am committed to delivering compelling stories with high-quality completion, consistently applying my editorial judgement to ensure the most engaging and impactful narrative.

Portfolio

From 2015 and 2016, in Diyarbakir, as a Media Translator, I translated and adapted content on politics, economics, local events, and the Kurdish-Turkish conflict, ensuring accuracy and adherence to house styles for international media outlets like BBC, Newsweek, and The Sunday Times. In my role as a Journalist, I researched and wrote stories on politics and economics for regional and local press, conducting interviews, investigating stories, and building a network of contacts, including police, emergency services, local councils, and community groups. Key Projects: Conducted interviews in various war circumstances. Translated news stories from English to Turkish for 'Diken'. Captured photographs of war and protests in Diyarbakir, acting as an On-Site Translator for platforms including 'Newsweek'.

A significant number of educated Russians are fleeing Vladimir Putin's regime, driven by escalating political repression and diminishing personal freedoms. This "brain drain" includes professionals from various fields who are seeking better opportunities and safety abroad. The exodus of these skilled individuals presents a severe challenge for Russia's future economic and social development, as the country loses some of its most talented and innovative minds.

Following Brexit, the Ankara Agreement, which allowed Turkish citizens to establish businesses in the UK and apply for residency, came to an end. This agreement had facilitated thousands of Turkish nationals to start new lives and businesses in the UK. With the Brexit transition period concluding, there was a significant surge in applications from Turkish citizens eager to take advantage of this pathway before it expired on 31 December 2020​.

UK immigration delays are preventing Turkish and Kurdish people in Britain from reuniting with and assisting their loved ones affected by the devastating earthquake in Türkiye and Syria. These bureaucratic obstacles have caused significant distress for families seeking to provide immediate support during this humanitarian crisis.
