"So much we've gone through, because of mistakes that were made, because of lies that were told."

Four years ago, Channel8 was just an idea — a dream driven by the belief that everyone deserves the truth. Today, as we celebrate our first anniversary since launching, I can’t help but reflect on this incredible journey.
Those years were far from easy. Endless sleepless nights, moments of doubt, and relentless challenges tested us time and again. But through it all, one thing kept us moving forward: the truth matters.
“You Deserve the Truth” isn’t just a slogan to us. It’s a promise. A promise to stay honest, to ask the hard questions, and to bring stories to light, no matter the obstacles.
This journey has been about more than just hard work — it’s been about teamwork. I am endlessly grateful to the incredible people behind Channel8. Your passion, dedication, and belief in our mission made all of this possible.
To everyone who has supported us along the way — whether by watching, sharing, or simply believing in what we do — thank you. You are as much a part of this story as we are.
This is only the beginning. Here’s to truth, resilience, and the future of Channel8.

#Syria: Women Press Freedom is outraged by the Turkish drone strike that killed journalists #JihanBelki and #NazimDashdam near the Tishrin Dam, on the outskirts of Kobani. They were reporting on attacks on the dam when, according to local human rights groups, their vehicle was "directly" targeted. Their driver was also injured in the strike.
This tragedy comes amid escalating Turkish attacks in northern and eastern Syria. Jihan Belki is the third woman journalist killed by a Turkish drone strike this year, following the deaths of Gulistan Tara and Hêro Bahadîn in Iraq in August.
We strongly condemn this attack and demand an immediate, independent investigation to determine if these journalists were deliberately hit. Purposefully targeting the press in a conflict zone constitutes a war crime. Türkiye must be held accountable for the growing number of Kurdish journalists killed and injured by its drone strikes.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families, colleagues and loved ones of Jihan and Nazim.
