Whether you’re a newsroom, TV-Crew, company, or German government agency, Anyone dealing with Turkey and Turkish people, whether in or outside Turkey, needs more than a country briefing. They need someone who knows both cultures from the inside and understands the meaning behind words and behavior.
Chris Feiland has lived in Istanbul as a German journalist since 1997, and his family has a history in the city dating back over 150 years. Through his marriage to a Turkish woman, his advocacy for stray animals, and his film projects, which have taken him to every corner of the country, he knows Turkey from various perspectives, from villages to major cities. As the longtime chairman of the Istanbul-based Foreign Media Association (Yabancı Medya Derneği), he has mediated, de-escalated tensions, and protected colleagues in one of the world’s most challenging media environments.
