British Council began its series of seminars for the Turkish media to discuss issues around the representation of less advantaged groups. The first of the series of National Seminars was on ‘Representation of children in the media’ and was held on 20 January in Istanbul. The seminar hosted Paul Smith, consultant to BBC Editorial Policy department, and was moderated by Yavuz Baydar from Sabah daily.
