Sendika.Org

Sendika.Org is an independent alternative media outlet established in 2001 in Turkey, focusing on documenting the struggles of labor movements and social activism through impactful photography, news reporting, and video. Initially launched with the goal of giving voice to these often-overlooked communities, Sendika.Org has grown to become a significant alternative media source in Turkey, offering a counterpoint to mainstream narratives. Despite facing challenges inherent in covering sensitive political and social issues, they've built a dedicated community of 88 members, with 30 actively supporting their work through Patreon, generating an estimated $648 in monthly revenue. This achievement reflects the value placed on Sendika.Org's unique contribution: providing visual and journalistic accounts from a perspective rarely seen in the mainstream media, which contributes significantly to a more complete and nuanced understanding of Turkish society and its ongoing political and social transformations. Their long-term commitment to this crucial work, starting in 2001 and demonstrated by their consistent growth, highlights the enduring power of independent journalism.
