Common questions

Before you write

A handful of questions come up often enough that we keep a quick-reference list. If your situation isn't here, the form above reaches a real editor.

Read our editorial policy

How quickly will I hear back after sending a message?

The editorial desk replies to every message within two working days, Monday through Friday between 09:00 and 18:00 Istanbul time. Press enquiries from verified outlets are answered within 24 hours.

Do you accept unsolicited photograph submissions?

Yes. We read every submission that arrives via [email protected]. Please send a short cover note and a curated set of no more than fifteen images rather than a full archive. Our full brief, including format and rights expectations, lives on the submission page.

Can I license photographs from your archive?

Most archive images are available for editorial licensing, and a growing portion for limited commercial use. Send a brief describing the publication, territory, run length, and intended audience — we'll return a quote within five working days.

Are you available for talks, lectures, or jury panels?

Members of the team accept a small number of speaking engagements each year, particularly around analog process, archive ethics, and long-form visual editing. Please write at least six weeks in advance with the event format, audience, and travel context.

I noticed an error in one of your stories. How do I report it?

We take corrections seriously. Email the story URL and a clear description of the issue to [email protected]. Verified corrections are appended to the original article with a dated note.

Prefer to read first?

Wander through the archive before you write.

Sometimes the best way to understand what we publish is to spend an hour with the work. Our recent stories are open to everyone, with no sign-in required.
