Freelance journalist
Emily Feldman is a freelance journalist based in Istanbul, focusing on Turkey and the humanitarian crises resulting from conflicts in Iraq and Syria. Previously she was a digital editor at NBC and before that taught literature at a New York City high school. She is a graduate of the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism.
The election of a
Kurdish political party to the Turkish parliament last summer offered glimmers
of respite in a 30-year war between the government and Kurdish militants. But renewed
tension and violence have tempered any expectations of progress or peace, as Emily Feldman reports from Istanbul.
