At AA Istanbul International News Center, GZT Editor-in-Chief Doğukan Gezer gave a presentation at the “Platform-Specific Digital Content Production” session of the Digital Journalism Training.

Gezer shared his insights on topics such as “New Media Journalism,” “The Role of the Digital Newsroom,” “Platform-Based Content Management,” “AI-Assisted News Production,” and “Experience Sharing and Branding Journey Focused on GZT.”

Gezer stated that digital media has made things easier in many areas, saying, “Digital media has become a place where everyone can produce content and own a channel. The disadvantage is that anyone can do this, so there is serious competition. The more good content you are exposed to, the better your editing skills become. My advice is to consume the best content.”

Gezer also explained the steps of the content production process, saying that they first determine the format and presentation, then prepare the script and flow, and finally move on to the production part.

Gezer noted that after the content is prepared and filmed, they move on to the editing phase, which takes approximately two days, similar to the preparation phase.

Gezer also touched on AI-supported news production and outlined its stages.
