Yıllık 2024

Almanac 2024 compiles a rich array of content — from news reports and in-depth analyses to award-winning photographs and comprehensive infographics — serving as an essential record that carries the events of the past year into the future.

The year 2024 will be remembered for a number of world-defining events. One of the most harrowing was that the Israeli government was able to continue its inhumane genocide in the Gaza Strip. Anadolu Ajansı (AA) documented every aspect of this atrocity and presented it to the global public. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of AA reporters in Gaza, numerous impactful publications were produced — most notably KANIT (The Evidence), published by the Agency’s publishing division AA Kitap, which served as a key source of evidence for war crime allegations brought against Israel at the International Criminal Court.

Another focal point in the Middle East was Syria. After years of relative calm since 2016, the Syrian front returned to the global spotlight with renewed unrest, paving the way for what many see as the potential collapse of the Assad regime. AA followed the process closely, both on the ground and at the diplomatic level, becoming the leading source for global media outlets during the most critical stages of the Syrian Revolution.

Elsewhere, 2024 saw a rise in natural disasters — wildfires, earthquakes, and floods — further revealing the escalating impact of the global climate crisis. These disasters shook not only ecosystems but also the economic and social fabric of many societies. In response, AA produced impactful, solution-oriented journalism that raised awareness through evidence-based reporting.

The almanac also highlights AA’s innovative journalism initiatives such as “Yeşilhat” (Greenline), “Ayrımcılık Hattı” (Discrimination Line), and “Teyit Hattı” (Verification Line), which expanded the boundaries of journalism and contributed to social transformation. In addition, each month’s coverage concludes with select podcast content, showcasing the evolving face of media in the digital age.

In sections devoted to culture and the arts, the almanac spotlights the creative works of 2024 that reflect Türkiye’s national identity and cultural production.

Technologically, 2024 marked a historic breakthrough for Türkiye in terms of domestically developed and nationally driven innovation. The landmark space mission of Turkish astronaut Alper Gezeravcı, major advancements in the defense industry, and large-scale energy independence projects all underscored the nation’s firm trajectory toward regional leadership.

As it continues its mission to serve as a memory of journalism, this almanac also responds to the demands of the digital era — offering readers faster and broader access through integrated QR codes.
