“Everyone who appears on television and posts on social media is a role model”

Stating that the words and sentences used in daily life become more habitual the more frequently they are used, Cem Öğretir also added:  “Actually, this is a matter of habit, like television. A good habit or a bad habit? This question is for our audience. As a television industry employee, I always try to do my best. Hence, I try to use Turkish in the best way possible and set a good example for our young people. Everyone who appears on television and posts on social media is a role model. Therefore, when you become a role model, you also take on a great responsibility.”

“Television journalism is changing”

Cem Öğretir explained that people still verify the news through television since there is still no full trust in social media. Cem Öğretir, “Television journalism is changing and transforming rather than disappearing. Just as it was thought that radio would no longer be used when television emerged, print journalism is now transforming to digital channels."
The training provided by Cem Öğretir, who also answered questions about his career, attracted great attention from students and academicians.
