Summary

It’s an increasingly cynical, unequal, unpredictable and worrying world. So what are we going to do about it? Turkish journalist and author Ece Temelkuran, talks to Dorian Lynskey about her new book Together: 10 Choices For a Better Now, how we can rebuild faith in humankind, the journalistic experiences which shaped her worldview, and why we should focus our anger on those in power rather than on social media. “Hopelessness is a timid code for the loss of people’s faith in their own kind.” “I try to talk about politics without the political discourse, and it’s not a piece of cake.” “What you do as a journalist is to witness the extraordinary.” “Anger is a commodity on social media, and we are selling our most intimate emotions.” Presented by Dorian Lynskey. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jelena Sofronijevic and Jacob Archbold. Music by Kenny Dickinson. Audio production by Alex Rees.
