Modigo is a digital publication platform that views every aspect of life—from current politics to culture, from science to the street economy—through a socialist, secular, and critical perspective.
In this challenging period Turkey is passing through, we reject the understanding of journalism that avoids “rocking the boat” under the guise of neutrality. We do not bend the truth. Our stance is clear: we stand with labor, science, democracy, and freedoms.
Our aim is to be a part of the rightful struggle against the one-man regime, lawlessness, economic exploitation, and cultural degeneration in the country. We achieve this by presenting events to the reader in clear, understandable language, avoiding the trap of academic jargon.
At Modigo, not only politics but also cinema, philosophy, technology, and details within daily life find their place with their political and social contexts.
