Digital transformation support for women journalists from BİK and MEVKA

The Press Advertisement Agency (BİK), with backing from the Mevlana Development Agency (MEVKA) and hosted by KTO Karatay University, launched a project to strengthen the digital transformation skills of women journalists working in local media, beginning with its first session. The initiative, titled "Empowering the Digital Transformation Competencies of Women Journalists in the Local Press," pairs the public ad regulator with a regional development agency and an academic host. It matters as a state-supported effort to close the digital skills gap among women in local newsrooms, a segment often underserved by training investment. Next, watch participation numbers and whether the program expands beyond Konya, where MEVKA and KTO Karatay are based.
