Inside karakutu: Archiving Turkey’s independent journalism

In this episode of the MFRR interview series, we speak with Viera Zuborova, Director of CORRECTIV.Exile, about karakutu, a digital archive created to preserve independent and uncensored journalism from Turkey. Against the backdrop of continued political pressure, judicial harassment, and censorship targeting independent media in Turkey, Karakutu offers a way to keep censored reporting accessible, verifiable, and harder to erase. The conversation explores how the archive works, why digital preservation matters for press freedom, and how exile journalism can help protect public memory.
