EFD Haftanın Web Projesi: Teyit.org (@teyitorg)

Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism’in 2015 Digital News Report’una göre incelenen 18 ülke arasında sosyal medyanın bir haber kaynağı olarak en popüler olduğu ülke yüzde 67’lik oranla Türkiye. Sosyal ağların haber kaynağı olarak sıralamasında Türkiye’den katılımcıların yüzde 69’u Facebook, yüzde 33’ü Twitter, yüzde 33 Google+ ve yüzde 14’ü YouTube’u kullandığını söylüyor. Araştırmaya katılan altı ülke arasında ‘Gördüğüm haberlere çoğu zaman inanırım’ diyenlerin sayısının en az olduğu ülke Türkiye.

İstasyon TEDU Sosyal İnovasyon Merkezi içinde geliştirmekte olduğumuz teyit.org çalışması birincil haber kaynağı olarak interneti kullanan yurttaşların ve sivil toplum örgütlerinin çevrimiçi platformlarda doğru bilgiye ulaşmasını sağlamak, eleştirel düşünme alışkanlığını ve doğru bilgiye ulaşma bilincini kazandırmayı amaçlıyor.

Medyaya olan güvenin giderek azaldığı, kutuplaşmanın yaygınlık kazanarak derinleştiği son günlerde teyit.org‘un özellikle kriz anlarında, şüpheli içerikleri doğrulama ve analizlerini yayınlama, eleştirel düşünme ve kaliteli haber ve içeriğin üretimine katkı sağlamak için faaliyet göstermesinin hayati krizleri ve çatışma ihtimallerini minimize edeceğine inanıyoruz.

teyit.org yaygın bilinen yanlışlardan, sosyal medyanın gündemine oturan şüpheli bilgilere, yaygın medyanın gündeme getirdiği iddialardan, şehir efsanelerine birçok alanda doğrulama yaparak okurun süzgeçten geçirilmiş bilgiye ulaşması için çalışacak.

25 years on: How the euro’s architects erred

Centre for European Reform

A quarter of a century after the euro’s conception, the flaws in its design have become apparent. EU leaders have fixed some of them but the euro needs better policies in order to be a successful currency.

It is almost 25 years since European finance ministers, meeting in Rome in December 1990, launched an ‘inter-governmental conference’ on Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Their work emerged a year later as the Treaty of Maastricht, which set out a roadmap for creating what became the euro.
At that time I was a journalist in Brussels, interviewing many of those involved in the conception of the euro. Most of them assumed that the euro would encourage trade and investment across frontiers, thereby deepening the single market and boosting competition. They thought that an independent European Central Bank (ECB) would keep inflation and interest rates low, encouraging investment and job creation. They were also convinced that the euro would strengthen the political bonds between the European nations.
