OnlineIzmir was created not simply to report what is happening in the city, but to help people living in İzmir make better decisions.
What do we do differently?
There is no shortage of news, announcements and lists about İzmir online. The problem is that information is scattered, lacks context and is often disconnected from readers’ everyday lives. When OnlineIzmir explains what has happened, we also aim to explain who is affected, why it matters and what practical step a reader can take.
We are not limited to being a tourist city guide. We cover transport, neighbourhoods, work and money, entrepreneurship, culture, disaster preparedness, life for international residents and local production from the same city-focused perspective.
Who is OnlineIzmir for?
For people born and raised in İzmir, newcomers to the city, students, families, international residents, professionals, entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to build a genuine connection with İzmir.
Our language is clear, human and practical. Rather than copying institutional announcements, we try to translate them into language that makes sense to people living in the city.
How do we work?
Information that can change is checked against official or primary sources. Artificial intelligence may be used for research, classification and drafting; final content is editorially reviewed for accuracy, context, language and usefulness.
