In the “Violent Non-State Actors: From Anarchists to Jihadists” conference, Aydınlı highlighting the significance of the cooperation among all the involved parties in counter-terrorism efforts, said:
“The governmental people, the media people and all the relevant people would sit together and talk about this, and almost define, more or less, what would be really ethically responsible in reporting or not reporting or how of the reporting is important.” If you report something in a way that keeps generating fear, then you are falling into the trap. But if you keep reporting the same thing that would not generate the fear, but at least would remind people that some cautions are necessary, that would be much better than the other.”
The professor focused on a critical detail to eliminate the terror cycle and said the responsible parties, media in particular, should exercise “self-control” rather than “self-censorship”.
