Radio, Television and Cinema - Academic Activities

A talk on 'Reporting in War and Crisis Zone' was held by the Department of Radio, Television and Cinema of the Faculty of Communication of Üsküdar University. Journalist Saime Toktaş, who was the guest of the talk, gave information about war correspondent and journalism and told about his unforgettable memories. Journalist Saime Toktaş was the guest of the event titled "Reporting in the War and Crisis Zone" held by Üsküdar University Communication Faculty Radio, Television and Cinema Department. The interview moderated by Res. Asst. Yezdan Çelebi, was within the scope of the 'Radio and Television Journalism' course and was held with the participation of Radio, Television and Cinema Department Head Asst. Professor Esennur Sirer and her students. "It is exciting to follow the events that shape the world as a reporter" Moderator Res. Asst. Asked by Yezdan Çelebi, "What is it like to report in a war and crisis zone, what does it feel like?" Journalist Saime Toktas, who started to speak by answering his question, said, “I think it is very exciting and beautiful. Of course, war is not a beautiful thing, but it is a nice and exciting situation to be there to report the event as a journalist and to be in it. It is exciting to follow the events that shape the world as a reporter. It is a situation that throws the dead soil on you, gives energy, and allows us to enjoy journalism.” "We couldn't find a place to sleep, drink water or food to eat" "What kind of competencies do you need to be a war correspondent?" Continuing by answering his question, journalist Toktaş said, “There is no specific rule written in the books. Those who set out on this road should be a little cold-blooded, be able to manage the moment of crisis. Because if the place you are going is, for example, an earthquake place, you witness a great earthquake and a human tragedy in an unfamiliar place. You become a partner in the event together with those who experienced the earthquake. We could not find a place to sleep, drink water or food to eat. You have to know the conditions there. You have to adapt to every environment, know the region, be aware of what you are there for. Based on these, you should do your job in the best way possible. You should do this with the general rules of journalism we see in schools," he said. "You cannot act on your own in the conflict zone, there must be someone with you" "How does it feel to be in a region where the traces of conflict are hot? Do you need to embedded with one side? What experiences have you gained?" Journalist Saime Toktaş answered the question, “Does it need to embedded somewhere?” The answer to the question is yes. This is the case in today's world for all war and crisis zones. There are also those who do this independently. But it is both risky and not very healthy in terms of security. One party has to be aware of your presence in some way. These are usually official institutions. If you don't have much control over where you're going, having someone with you is a necessity. There must be someone who knows the culture, language and life of those people.” "It is necessary to be aware and careful while following the news" Journalist Toktaş, talking about the qualities that a war reporter should have, said, "You have to be very alert and careful while following the news. It is necessary not to jump into the information received. It is necessary to constantly filter the information. It is necessary to be as knowledgeable as possible. "Especially if we look at the region we are in, we live faster than Europe, in ten days as they live in a year. Now we need to establish our dominance as much as possible," he explained. "If you are a journalist, you think everything is news-centric" "As a journalist, how do you keep up with the ever-changing events? How does it feel to be in a place where not everyone wants to be?" Answering the question, Saime Toktas said, "There is a saying. In an explosion, everyone flees from the flames, but journalists and policemen run to that area first. I think this is one of the most thought-provoking aspects of the job. If you are a journalist, you live news-based. Your whole life, your day is based on this. When you get up in the morning, "The first thing you do is to look at the agenda on the phone. Likewise, you check the agenda again for the last time before going to bed. Your life is all about the news. You think about everything news-based." "I said 'Prime Minister' to the President out of panic" Journalist Saime Toktaş, who also talked about the memories of her career at the event, said, "There was a very busy agenda during one of my days at TRT. There were World Bank meetings or something, and we followed them non-stop for 15 days. Then we had a day off. I was very excited to use a day off. I was with my friend at a point not far from my house. Since I was on my day off, I wore that type of outfit. In the afternoon, a call came from the channel saying, "Tonight at 19:00, the President of Bosnia and Herzegovina is coming to Turkey, you need to go there and do a live interview." It never crossed my mind, I was not even prepared. ‘Why is the President of Bosnia and Herzegovina coming? What will we ask? What is going on in Bosnia and Herzegovina at that time?' I don't know any of it. I fell into a state of panic. I'm trying to give it to someone else. It was said that the announcer would do it, it did not happen for technical reasons. My chief asked what I was wearing, he said I would go straight to the broadcast. My hair, my head, my clothes were messy. I was forced to go. At the request of the General Manager, a plan was made that it would be broadcast as soon as the President arrived. I went and tried to gasp my speaker friend by saying, "You can do it, there is no problem in technique, right?" He came prepared, and he brought his jacket, thanks to him, but it was two sizes too big for me, I was lost in it. The make-up artist is also trying to get me together. As a result, my speaker friend said that he could not do it for technical reasons. We got ready, the President came and we went on the air in a panic. I greeted the President, there were specific questions. Being someone who likes to smoke, he took a break right away and wanted to do it later. The broadcast was requested for 45 minutes, then it was increased to 1 hour. I didn't know how to do it; We tried to get information from Bosnia and Herzegovina. We broadcast in a panic mood. The word 'Prime Minister' came out of my mouth by mistake. I ate some brushes; He said, "I am not the Prime Minister, I am the President, how can you address me like that?" Of course, I was a little surprised there, we somehow got it together and broadcast it," and shared a long and panic-filled memory with the students. Source: Haber Üsküdar 

A talk titled 'Cinematography' was held by Üsküdar University Communication Faculty, Radio, Television and Cinema Department. Lecturer Rıza Oylum, who was the guest of the talk, drew attention to the importance of visual language in cinema. "Telling the story to the audience through dialogue harms the language of cinema" Rıza Oylum, who started the conversation by stating that he put a lot of thought on the concept of 'film language', said, "The language of film is the enrichment of the forms of expression with the visuality of the cinema and its presentation to the audience. Here we come across some handicaps, the approach that the audience has become accustomed to. "Telling the subject, the key point of the story. Going further, telling it to the camera. These damage the language of the cinema. The less it is told with dialogue and the more visuals can be presented, the richer and more profound the film will be. Because the mechanism of this element is visuality." "A good auteur director wants to be remembered for the atmosphere he creates" Stating that the handicap of keeping the dialogues in mind is understood with a test, Oylum said, "I ask my students at conferences, 'Imagine your favorite scene. Do you like this scene for dialogue? Or is the atmosphere more catchy?' thinks that the scene is unforgettable. The atmosphere or visuality set is not remembered. Because the directors do not work too much on this. They always try to make a narration through a line. This is the weakest part of the cinema. A good auteur director wants to be remembered with the atmosphere he has set up. If the scenes in which the visuals are unforgettable multiply in our minds The concept of the language of cinema there may come to the fore. One of the last period films that comes to my mind on this subject is Özcan Alper's 'Autumn.' Özcan Alper explained his cinematic approach, language and what he wanted to tell with visuals, not with dialogue. In the Black Sea countryside, with the waves hitting the land. We see the resentment of a character who has been imprisoned for 0 years. When we look into their eyes, we see the sadness in the character. What we need is actually this language of expression," he said. "We need to build the film with the visual narrative" Mentioning the relationship between cinema and poetry through Abbas Kiarostami, Oylum stated that the director creates poetry through visuality, "There is a layered structure on the stage. We can talk about a few steps of the layered structure. That is, how he creates what we call 'constructing oneself with visuals'. First of all, we can start with the name of the movie; His name is already a line of poetry. When we go inside, the atmosphere itself is very poetic with its use of light, its darkness and the color tone it establishes. He has a poetry discussion on the stage, recites poetry, makes a suggestion between poetry and education, he says, age is not important. The highest step is to reconstruct poetry. I also wanted to show a scene from the same director's movie 'Under the Olive Trees'. Here, death and life are questioned. In the scene where death and life are compared, a life form and a camera approach are created. In other words, a life that goes from its beginning to its end. with the word "path created" He used the movies and had scenes from the movies he gave as examples to be watched. "The cinematographers should show their talents while keeping their personality" Rıza Oylum continued his speech by referring to the relationship between the cinematographer and the director, saying, "Some directors have a persistent relationship with cinematographers. I think this is very important examples for cinema. For example, Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci's relationship with Vittorio Storaro. There are many films that have continuity. In the movie 'Conformist', shot in Paris, the use of light and the way they make light are reflected in their relationships. It can be said that there is a whole between relationships. Sometimes the directors themselves insist on cinematography. Coming from photography is effective in this. Here from Zeki Demirkubuz Another important name is Alfonso Cuaron. He directed and directed the cinematography of the movie 'Roma.' a I can mention Danny Cohen. When we watch the movies 'The Danish Girl' and 'The Stuttering King', we see the continuity of ice blue in one and the continuity of gray and tones in the other. But when we look at it, we can talk about a unity for these two films. These show us how important the cinematographer is, and that they can show their talents even if they work with different directors while preserving their own personality and identity."

There are business partners in each of our units and departments who deal with all processes of that unit from end to end. Business partners; personnel recruitment, He is responsible for all processes of the channel such as career planning, training process and performance management. Since we are business partners, there are certain departments above all of us. Maybe you watch, you follow. Two of them are TRT 2 Culture Art and TRT Music channel, which I am responsible for. These channels are human resources and I manage the business partnership process. Apart from these, if I talk about my education life, I graduated from Anadolu University Faculty of Business Administration. At the same time, I continue my education life at Istanbul University, Department of Human Resources and Management. I started my 10-year working life at Türk Telekom. Later on, human resources I moved to the field of management and I have worked in many companies. I am currently continuing my career in TRT," he said. we target people while serving 

"Health Journalism on Television" was discussed at the event organized by Üsküdar University Communication Faculty Radio, Television and Cinema Department. Moderated by the Head of the Department of Radio, Television and Cinema, Faculty of Communication, Dr. Instructor TRT Correspondent Fatma Demir Turgut was the guest of the event organized by its member Esennur Sirer. TRT Reporter Fatma Demir Turgut shared her experiences on health journalism on television at the department event organized by Üsküdar University Communication Faculty Radio, Television and Cinema Department. "It was thought to be an epidemic that could be brought under control in a short time" Fatma Demir Turgut, conveying the working conditions in the pandemic environment we are in, said, "I hope not to make more news on this subject. As it is known, the process started in December 2019. It was known as the mysterious virus. We were watching the process in China from afar. Of course, then unfortunately, it entered us. First, Europe. It came to Turkey from Europe as well. We started to make many news by meeting with the professors in that process. As it is known, there was a Sars epidemic all over the world in 2002-2003, it was brought under control in a very short time. Everyone thought it was such an epidemic at first. He didn't have much foresight. The professors said that this virus is contradictory. It's usually a bell shaped curve; you always hear it in the news in epidemics. At first it goes up, then there is a plateau period. Then it goes downhill. They also rise, come to a peak, then They predicted that they would start to fall. It never happened. There is almost no country left that has not spread. We found ourselves in a disaster," he said. "I entered the intensive care unit, I witnessed what people went through" Reporter Demir Turgut, who has been making news about infectious diseases and epidemics for a long time; "Since March, I've always been reporting on the coronavirus. I can say that I haven't made any other news. I have seen how important it is to specialize in health, both with my institution and with those around me during this epidemic. I had the chance to follow the developments closely. I entered the intensive care service, what people said. We wore those overalls. While it was difficult to stay in the overalls for even five minutes, we witnessed the medical personnel working for hours in those clothes. We directed our news in the direction the epidemic was heading. We followed the situation from the epidemic hospitals. "The thing was a mutation. Everyone is following it closely. At the same time, we are looking forward to the vaccine." "I think we have no salvation other than vaccination" Fatma Demir Turgut, who voluntarily participated in the phase 3 studies of the vaccine developed by China, said, "The last week of November was made for volunteers. I went to report it. I was already thinking. I think we have no other salvation. Herd immunity was tried in some diseases, but unfortunately it resulted in disasters. Either virus mutation It will pass, it will lose its effectiveness completely. There will be either herd immunity or vaccination. Since we don't have both at the moment, our only chance is vaccination. There, the infectious disease specialist said that my status was suitable. So I accepted. There were other media members. When they saw that I wanted to be vaccinated they also volunteered. There is a lot of information pollution about the vaccine on social media. You are given a document with details about the study and the vaccine. You read and sign them. You are tested for antibodies and PCR. You have to be negative to participate in the study. You have not had the disease and at that moment You are not supposed to be positive. After the test, the message comes and you get the vaccine. After the first dose, I did not experience any side effects. I had some burning and pain in my arm. I have not experienced any other side effects in 14 days. Then there was some pain again after the second dose was administered. Other than that, I didn't experience any side effects. You asked if the reporter should be vaccinated. When you look from the outside, you don't understand what those people are going through, but when you're involved, you clearly understand how difficult it is when you meet those people one-on-one. I actually wanted to be an example to people. Science will save us from this epidemic. We expect the vaccine to arrive in our country as soon as possible," he said. “We will may have significant progress until April-May” When Asst. Prof.  Esennur Sirer asked what the latest situation in vaccine studies was, Fatma Demir Turgut said: "We actually expected it to arrive on December 11th. Every vaccine and drug that comes to our country is started to be administered here after it is approved by the Turkish Medicines and Devices Agency. There are news in the press that the dose is less than 50 million, but as the Ministry of Health says, a solution will be found. "Maybe it will be low in the first place, but according to the information we received afterwards, we will have made significant progress until April-May. We expect the vaccination to start as of January. We do not have any information on the date at the moment. As I said, I believe that the vaccine will arrive in our country at the dose it was told and that it will be started to be applied." “While a group is vaccinated, a group is not vaccinated and these groups are compared” Journalist Kemal Öztürk, who had a positive test despite being vaccinated in the past days, was on the agenda. On this subject, Professor Süleyman İrvan asked the curious ones. Fatma Demir Turgut replied with these words: “As I said in my speech, this work is twofold. What does this mean; there are two groups. There is a placebo group, one with a real vaccine and one with no real vaccine. In other words, a group is vaccinated, a group is not vaccinated, it becomes a placebo. In the process, the two groups are compared. Kemal Öztürk may have been in the group that had never been vaccinated. This information is never mentioned in the news about Kemal Öztürk. Likewise, my vaccine may not be the real vaccine. Right now I don't know for sure either. The health personnel who make the vaccine do not know this either. Vaccines come by number. A responsible journalist would not disclose that. Vaccination was news to me. Let's say that if such a situation happened to me during this process, of course, you would have to explain in some way. But how can we explain the placebo thing when people really don't even understand the vaccine? We are in a study, we are in a phase 3 study. While I was reporting, I stated that I was in the study. In two weeks it will be known whether it is a real vaccine or a placebo. Then I think his explanation would be more accurate.” Source: Haber Üsküdar 

TRT Sports presenter Deniz Satar shared her professional knowledge and experience with the students at the event organized within the scope of Sports Media course at Üsküdar University Faculty of Communication. During the interview moderated by Asst. Prof. Esennur Sirer, Satar answered the questions of the students. Esennur Sirer, who introduced Deniz Satar to the students at the beginning of her talk, said, "Deniz is a graduate of the faculty of communication and loves to talk about her days in the faculty of communication. She stepped into the profession while studying at the faculty of communication. You can see that she has a journalist identity. After that, he transferred to television. You see her a lot on social media lately. She exists in every field of sports media," she said. "You can see me as you 10 years from now" Deniz Satar started her speech by stating that there were too many requests from universities, "I can't accept any of them, because I can't really get ahead of them this time. Your teacher Esennur is an extremely valuable person, she was my director. She also taught me when I first came to TRT, as he taught you. That's why it's a private meeting. I don't have much time to go to university settings. When I go to one, I have to meet with other students as well, I don't want to distinguish any of them. Our situation here today will be a little special. I've been here 10 years before you, from desks like you. You can see the past 10 years as your future self," she said. "Decade years ago no one dreamed of being a YouTuber" Deniz Satar said, "Since you chose the faculty of communication, you hope to find a job in one of the mass media. Although your ideals may have changed. A decade ago, no one's dream was to be a Youtuber or to work in digital media. Internship in digital media was not a positive thing either. We were not counting them. For example. At the end of the year, everyone did an internship somewhere in our generation. Everyone would ask where are you doing your internship. When someone said in the news center and the other on the website, we would continue the conversation and ignore it. But of course, the mass media is changing shape, the dynamics are changing. and your ideals may have shifted to digital media," he said, emphasizing that the order has changed. "I was too an unsuccessful student to win the university" Deniz Satar, who also gave information about her life and how she decided to start her career, said, "I was born and raised in İzmir. I completed high school there as well. I was a bit inclined to the camera when I finished high school, because when my aunt brought a camera from abroad at the age of 6-7, let's see Deniz, tell us about İzmir. "Tell me about it. I would come out of the cotton fields in Foça and say, 'Hello, this is Foça, this is cotton you see,' and naturally I had a little aptitude for the camera. This encouraged me in high school to become a presenter. Being a presenter was very popular back then. "People who were able to tell something and had the ability to speak and oratory would evolve into presenters. That's how it happened to me, too. But I was such an unsuccessful student that I couldn't pass the university entrance exam, and I barely finished high school again," he said. Satar stated that he started presenting on a local television and started to broadcast live in 1 week and 10 days because he made it very easy to present. They will give you difficulties when you start work Stating that everyone will face difficulties for a while at the first stage of work, Deniz Satar said, "I don't know if you have ever experienced this feeling, but no matter how much the generation changes, you will be crushed in the first place. I don't know at what age you will experience this feeling, but this feeling is very bad when you start working. "It's a feeling. I experienced this at the age of 18. There was a presenter, a university graduate, and he was given social rights. I was given a job at ridiculous hours just because I was a high school graduate," he said. "While I was dreaming of being a basketball reporter, I was announcing Güz Gülleri by Hakan Taşıyan" Stating that she did her internship in a local channel in Konya, Deniz Satar continued her words as follows: "It was an Arabesque channel. For example, while I was dreaming of being a basketball reporter, I was announcing the Güz Gülleri of Hakan Taşıyan. Can you imagine the difference. NBA game until morning. The next day, I go and say, 'Yes, dear viewers, the most popular song of recent times, Hakan Taşıyan's Güz Gülleri is here'. So dreams and lives." "It took me 3 years to win the university" Deniz Satar said that when she became a victim of local television, she realized that this would not be the case, said she had to sit down and work, and that it took 3 years for her to start from scratch and win the university. Expressing that she won Konya in the university entrance exam, Deniz Satar said, "I have never been to Konya in my life and I am from İzmir." "I never spoke with my friends on campus during my university life" Deniz Satar, who mentioned that there was a 4-year age difference between her and her classmates at the university, said, "The 4-year age difference meant the older sister of the class. For example, this situation made me very sad. I immediately started on a local television station in Konya and only worked while I was studying." Explaining that he started working at TRT Music in his second year of university, Satar emphasized the importance of internship experience by saying, "My classmates have just started their careers. Satar said that he never had a conversation with his friends on campus during his university life and said, "I saw people chatting in the garden while I was coming here with my teacher Esennur. This is the only thing about my student life that does not exist. I have never had a moment on campus where I could put my feet up and chat with my friends." Everything extra pushes the person to the fore in their 30s. Stating that there will be times when everyone will want to make money, Deniz Satar said, "Maybe you live with great awareness, but the 30s are different. When you reach the 30s, you try to sell everything you have acquired at the moment. For example, you wanted the communication industry and you received training on digital media and you got an internship somewhere. Believe me, when you reach your 30s, you start to make money from what you do. Everything you do extra makes you stand out a little more," he said, adding that the 30s are different. "There will be moments when you say this has nothing to do with Adorno" The first thing that communication faculty teaches is to teach research no matter what the job is. For example, I am a journalism graduate. Is journalism fully taught? It teaches us the names that tell us how things work in a theoretical sense. For example, we learn about names like Adorno who make sociological conclusions about mass media. But when you go to the sector, you will learn how light is made and how the cable is carried. There will be moments when you say this has nothing to do with Adorno. However, I think the Faculty of Communication is the only place that teaches you how to do whatever you do in life. Macro influencer or talent? Deniz Satar, who gave information about the education she received on digital media in the USA, said that Nike's director in Los Angeles and someone from Google came to the workshops and continued her speech as follows: How it worked in . And whether the people who will represent the brands from now on will be influencers, that is, people with high followers. There were differences of opinion among people on this subject. Nike director said that they work with influencer and their influence is not much. In the continuation of his speech, information about the path followed by Nike Satar said, "Nike worked with an influencer and a very talented 18-year-old skateboarder with 3000 followers to see the effect. In line with the reactions received, Nike decided to implement the strategy of using talented people as a face," said Satar. "Know your content and be your own boss" Deniz Satar also mentioned her generation in her speech and said, "Beautiful girls want to be presenters, decent men want to be anchormen, no one wanted to be editors." Saying that there is a serious shortage of editors in Turkey, Satar stated that the editor is not just about writing, but that it is very important to know Turkish in terms of both intellectuality and ability to form sentences. He continued to explain the importance of the editor through the example of "You all see it in KJs, its full stop, comma, content, writing, all of them are disaster. Your only job is to write in KJ, but you are doing it wrong even in it". Saying that the program he is presenting starts at 00:30 at night and is on the air for 1.5 hours alone, Satar said, "Since there is no Prompter, it is not possible for me to explain what is in someone's mind, it is possible for me to tell something in my head. Therefore, I adjust the flow myself. I master the content. And you have to be your own boss," he said. "Reading aloud improves diction" Stating that being from Istanbul is the reason to start life 1-0 ahead in terms of proper diction, Deniz Satar emphasized that "he improved his diction by reading book aloud". Satar said, "Read a book aloud. The more you get used to your voice, the easier it will be for you to emphasize it. That's why reading book aloud was my first rule. When reading a  book, you will tell something in a melodious way. Because that's the only rule in mass media." Referring to the problems experienced by the presenter, Satar said, "The editor writes by reading aloud. The newscaster cannot situate the text in his head because he does not write it himself. Also, if he switched to the prompter without working or reading, he starts to tone it differently. This is the problem that newscasters generally have. Fortunately, since the loading is emphasized in the news. No matter how he reads it, he said at the end that adding etc. will save him/her," and advised the students to read everything aloud so that they can be at peace with their voices and manage their voices. "Turkey's largest institution gives me money so that I can explain something" Upon a question, Satar also mentioned why he did not enter content on YouTube despite having high followers on Instagram, "I earn money from television. Turkey's largest institution pays me to explain something and does my insurance. Then, when I attended workshops in the USA, I saw that companies provided YouTubers with something different. For example, I need to produce content for YouTube and when I say 'Hello guys, I'm wearing make-up', I'm sure that the experts in this field appear on the screen so much, are you doing this? He will say. That's why I don't like it very much. Because I love match travels, I only post something on YouTube during match travels." Satar also stated that the new generation likes to summarize the title and the event in 160 characters, not the content, so he is not interested in the details. "My reaction to a goal was criticized on social media" When he was asked whether he received warnings from the managers about his goal celebration in the France-Turkey match while presenting a program at TRT Spor, Satar said, "My goal celebration in the program was made fun of on social media. When TRT is mentioned, people perceive it as a despot. A lot of people work, I don't want to discredit them and I try to keep in touch with them. They like my colorful personality. No matter how natural you are, TRT is an institution, your first duty there is to report and you try to keep a line. As for the goal, I'm shortsighted. the screen was a small screen, we were live and my broadcast was during the match. While the match is being played on TRT 1, I am presenting something on TRT Spor and my eyes are constantly going to the match. I can't see because they are far away. They don't give the live game narration to the women. The goal has come and I can't see who scored. On the other hand, I am trying to provide self-control. I got emotional when the goal was scored. As I said, my joy for goal was criticized a lot on social media, but thanks to national football players, artists and managers, they made a very good comeback," he said. "Making a Show on Fanatik TV improved my improvisation skills" Deniz Satar said in his speech, "5 years ago, there were very few speakers who improvised. For example, Mehmet Ali Birand used to improvise. There was not much in sports. Emek Ege tries to improvise. Most of them read prompters. There were also very few men who improvised the news bulletin like the program. While I was making a program on Fanatik TV, I trained myself to improvise. Being able to talk non-stop for 2 hours is actually a great feat. You can also do this by talking non-stop about a subject in front of the mirror. This will improve your improvisation ability in 2-3 months. Give it 3 minutes talk to yourself and to be careful not to repeat the sentences you have formed," he continued. "Didem (Dilmen) is one of the women who knows football and can be a pioneer in this field" A student's question, "Didem Dilmen, 'We were comparing Yusuf Erdogan with Gareth Bale when his performance was at its peak' was on the agenda and was criticized. Can you compare this criticism with the place of women in football, taking into account the social point of view?" Deniz Satar replied, "Didem is one of those women who really knows football, is very sweet and can be a pioneer in this field. Women are not made commentators because it is generally thought that their infrastructure is not very good. They are also not wrong about this. Because in the generation before me, sports announcers were so full of themselves. For example, I will stay in sports and age, mature, become experienced, and if you have a background when you enter the industry, I will support you, this is how female commentators increase. Sports commentators before us were purely a commodity, they were symbolic, they had no infrastructure, their content It wasn't very solid," he replied. 

Organized by Üsküdar University Education and Research Club, “The Irishman Film Analysis” event was held on 26 December at the Şehit Duha Beker Conference Hall in the South Campus. The analysis of the film was made by the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Communication and the Deputy Head of the Radio, Television and Cinema Department. Faculty Member Can Diker. Can Diker said that the film reflects American culture and that director Martin Scorsese criticizes American society through the character of Frank Sheeran, who is used to taking orders and never questions his orders. Stating that cinema in art form is actually storytelling and that storytelling is something as old as humanity, Diker stated that what Scorsese does is storytelling. “The film is actually a true father-daughter story” Diker, who said that the theme of the movie is not only the mafia story, said that a father-daughter story was also handled in the movie with these words: "You can think that the movie is mostly a mafia story. But at its core, the film is a true father-daughter story. The story of his daughter Peggy and her father Frank. With or without Peggy's line, the story is all about her. This means being able to read the event from different layers. This can only happen with a professional director like Scorsese. Because while he is telling you a story, he can tell 2-3 more stories along with it.” “People raised with money Lose Their Self” Diker stated that the reason behind Frank's murder of Hoffa was not money: “Money is never Frank's problem. The main thing here is that people educated with money, people whose personalities are changed with money, lose their self-consciousness and self-identity.” Source: Haber Üsküdar 

The event called “Life Asks Us Millions of Questions”, organized in cooperation with Üsküdar University Communication Faculty Radio, Television and Cinema Department and Social and Politics Club, is the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" was held at Üsküdar University Faculty of Communication, South Campus Fuat Sezgin Conference Hall, with the participation of Mehmet Çam, the producer of the program. In the talk that started at 14.00 on Tuesday, December 3, program producer Mehmet Çam shared information about the competition program and his own life with the students. Mehmet Çam, who conveyed how he prepared the million-dollar questions and what he went through during this process, met with the intense interest of Üsküdar Communication students. “The best format in the world” Who wants to be a millionaire? Mehmet Çam, who humorously explained how the contest was so successful and successful, said, “I have been doing the program "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" for 850 episodes. 850 episodes is a long time for a game show to exist. The program has been meeting with the audience for 8 years. There are so many broadcasts that continue to be broadcast on the screen and become classics, but there has never been another competition program in the history of Turkish television that has been watched so much and lasted so long. This is because I am the producer. When I'm chatting with people and they ask me, 'How do you become so successful,' I joke that 'Because I'm the producer of the show'. Actually, I am lucky to have made the best format in the world. We have achieved this by making many formats over the years and seeing the shortcomings.” “Million-dollar questions in all areas of life” Emphasizing that the million-dollar questions are actually in every aspect of human life, Mehmet Çam said, “In this process, I came face to face with many competitors. I have interviewed more than 30 thousand and met thousands of people. It's a really interesting experience for me. 3500 competitors sat in that seat and only 3 of 3500 competitors left a mark on me. We asked 3 people a million questions. I would like to say that we make some decisions in our lives. This is a situation that has nothing to do with what profession we do, what position we are in, how old we are, where we live. Somehow in our lives, we are faced with millions of questions. You don't even need to join Who Wants to be a Millionaire to answer the million dollar question. Life occasionally asks us millions of questions. There is such a thing as losing and winning in life. I want to show you how these 3 things are done. If someone had told me these things when I was in my 20s, I would have done things differently and looked at them differently. If you do your job justice, you will be successful in everything. The work you give your right to always returns to you”. Advice to students from Mehmet Çam Mehmet Çam, who gave advice to students about education and business life, said: “There is definitely something that you know very well, that you like very much or that you are interested in. Start doing something about it. While thinking "What can I do" in this field, produce something you know in the digitalized media. Try to relate your knowledge to the chapter you are currently studying because that is the easiest to do and because you know you will be successful.” Çam answered students' questions When asked by a student, “Do you base your questions on something when preparing the million-dollar questions?” Mehmet Çam answered, “There is a team that writes simple questions. The hard questions are written by another team. They have a style and they try to make the questions original. My criterion in million dollar questions is that it is a question that people will know. I can also ask, "What number is in the 315th digit of the Pi number?" In order not to make people say this, we take care that the question of one million is a question that people can know.” The event was organized by Üsküdar University Communication Faculty Radio, Television and Cinema Department Vice President and Deputy Dean -Asst. prof. It ended with Can Diker giving a certificate of appreciation to Mehmet Çam.
