Check FAQAbout Naomi
I am a freelance journalist based in Istanbul for more than seven years focusing on labor, land and security issues in Turkey and the region. I have been writing longform, news features, investigations and data-driven articles for more than 10 years, with work published in The New York Review of Books (online), The New York Times, Foreign Policy, Aljazeera, The Economist, NBC News, Middle East Eye and other places. My bigger, more collaborative reporting projects have been supported by the Fund for Investigative Journalism, the Pulitzer Center and the Thomson Reuters Foundation. I also work as a freelance fixer, translator and fact checker, with regular clients including AFP and France24. I have worked on long-term documentaries as well as time-sensitive news stories and have experience with mixed multimedia formats. Before settling in Istanbul, I lived in London, Paris, Quito, Brussels, New York and the Bay Area and also reported from Iraq, Greece, Colombia and Bolivia.
