Gaziemir’de ifade özgürlüğü tartışılacak
Gaziemir Belediyesi, usta gazeteci Uğur Mumcu’nun katledilişinin 27 yılında “Basında
ve Siyasette İfade Özgürlüğü”nün tartışılacağı panel düzenliyor.
Arabasına konulan bombanın patlaması sonucu yaşamını yitiren yurtsever gazeteci Uğur Mumcu,
Gaziemir’de önemli isimlerin katılacağı panel ile anılacak. Gaziemir Belediyesi tarafından
düzenlenecek “Basında ve Siyasette İfade Özgürlüğü Paneli” 24 Ocak Cuma günü saat 20.30’da
Gaziemir Belediyesi Atatürk Kültür Merkezi’nde gerçekleştirilecek.
Panel, birbirinden önemli isimleri Gaziemirlilerle buluşturacak. Cumhuriyet Gazetesi Yazarı Orhan
Bursalı, Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (CHP) Grup Başkan Vekili Özgür Özel’in konuşmacı olarak katılacağı
paneli Sözcü Gazetesi İzmir Temsilcisi Gökmen Ulu yönetecek.
24 Ocak dönüm noktasıdır
Gaziemir Belediye Başkanı Halil Arda, Uğur Mumcu’nun laik, demokratik ve çağdaş bir Türkiye
mücadelesi verdiğine dikkat çekerek “Mumcu, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin yönünün laiklikten ve
çağdaşlıktan uzaklaşmasını isteyen güçler tarafından katledildi. Bu saldırının arkasındaki gerçek
suçlular halen daha bulunamadı. Araştırmacı kimliği ile bizleri aydınlatan Mumcu’nun yokluğunu
arıyoruz. Onu öldürerek susturmak istediler ama başaramadılar. Uğur Mumcu’nun yazıları halen
daha bizleri aydınlatmaya devam ediyor. Aradan geçen 27 yılda ülkemizde basında ve siyasette ifade
özgürlüğü alanında önemli kazanımları kaybedildi. Bu nedenle 24 Ocak ifade özgürlüğü alanında
dönüm noktalarından biridir. Onu kaybettiğimiz günün yıl dönümünde hem bu hak kayıplarını
konuşmak hem de Uğur Mumcu’yu anmak adına panel düzenliyoruz. Birbirinden değerli, basın ve
siyaset dünyasından isimlerle ifade özgürlüğünü tartışacağız. Gaziemirli yurttaşlarımı bu etkinliğe
bekliyorum” dedi.
Uğur Mumcu anısına “Basında ve Siyasette İfade Özgürlüğü Paneli”
Bu haber ilgini çekebilir ->  [Image "Header+-+Bang+With+Friends.png"] You know you’ve created a cultural phenomenon when the nation’s largest college Christian group declares your creation “the evilest app ever.” But that’s exactly what happened when I built Bang With Friends, a Facebook app that let users find out which of their friends wanted to… you know. Once my friends got their hands on it, the app spread like wildfire. We hit the top of the Apple App Store’s dating category (at one point beating out Tinder), and within 3.5 months, we had 1 million users. We were everywhere, from The Wall Street Journal to The Colbert Report. But then came lawsuits, a rebrand, an acquisition, and a failed IPO before I became one of the few entrepreneurs to sell their company and later buy it back at a better price. Here’s the inside scoop on my journey and the 12 lessons I learned — from idea validation to acquisitions and negotiations. Let’s dive in. ONS: One Night Stand or Over Night Success? Bang With Friends was closer to an “overnight success” than any other startup. One night, we were joking in a startup incubator office about our provocative logo. The next, I was pulling an all-nighter to keep the servers from crashing and fielding press inquiries. Yet, the road to such an explosive launch was anything but overnight and littered with failures. My first attempt at a mobile app didn’t quite take off. It was a vibrator app for Windows Phone (hey, don’t judge), and while it amused me to think of a vibrator in everyone’s pocket, it didn’t exactly cause a buzz. By late 2012, I was almost a year into a struggling dating startup I created in Seattle, cornily named “Heard About You” (totally a dating site and not a 90s sitcom!). Things started looking up when I won a spot to present “Heard About You” to investors at an online incubator. Boost VC, a brand-new accelerator in Silicon Valley, discovered me from an online pitch. They invited me to spend 3 months with them in their inaugural class. And that’s where the alchemy happened. I entered Boost’s accelerator as the only solo founder, and it weighed on me. My girlfriend at the time, still long distance in Seattle, lent her design skills, but I didn’t have any real teammates. Halfway through Boost, with the help of some liquid courage, I took a hard look at my company’s chances, and I did not like what I saw. I doubted my ability to get enough attention, users, or investment. And I still didn’t have a co-founder. The resulting drunken conversation with entrepreneurs from other startups in the accelerator office was refreshingly honest, funny, and raw. We lamented that dating sites discouraged people from being upfront about their sexual desire; we decided you could simply say that you want to ‘bang’ someone. I vented my frustration that my idea for matching friends-of-friends required a ‘middle man’ without equally strong motivations; we narrowed the search to your Facebook friends. The idea was to go for the jugular. People are curious about who they can hook up with, especially with whom they’ve already met. Lesson 1: Ask yourself hard questions about your startup’s viability. Start free-flowing conversations about your approach and upcoming challenges with blunt, knowledgeable people without a vested interest who can view your startup from the outside. Happy with the intoxicated brainstorming but not thinking much of it, I headed to the city to party. It wasn’t long before I got a text that two others from Boost wanted to start working on the idea. I rushed back in the middle of the night. We cranked out the first version in 3 hours, fueled by Redbull vodkas, and christened the project with an epic name. “Bang With Friends” was born. — Read the rest on Medium [Image "Upsell+-+Light+Pink.png"]
