AKİL News Agency

Akdeniz İletişim (Akil) News Agency, established in 2010 within Akdeniz University Faculty of Communication, aims to put theoretical education into practice and provide newsroom experience to students from all departments who are interested in journalism. At Akil News Agency, where students take responsibility for all stages of news gathering/writing, video recording and editing, students gain industry experience by communicating with both news sources and other journalists in the field, while also having the opportunity to get to know the city. At Akil News Agency, where news is produced in different types of articles in many fields such as culture-art, sports, economy, health, research-review, students also go through a development process regarding which field of journalism they are interested in.
Routine and special news of students are shared with the readers at "akil.akdeniz.edu.tr" and simultaneously shared on the agency's social media accounts. The selection created from the news shared on the site is published periodically in the newspaper 'Akdeniz İletişim', which is published twice a year. By ensuring that students take responsibility in the design process of the 'Akdeniz İletişim' newspaper, it is aimed to contribute to the development of students who are interested in desktop applications. In addition to print and online journalism, students at Akil News Agency also experience social media journalism with specific news they produce for channels such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
