Unfortunately, the Narin Güran murder has still not been fully clarified; it is rightfully being debated and discussed, and judicial decisions are being criticized.

From the very first days the murder was reflected in the media, I have tried to draw attention to the journalistic errors made in news reports and commentary. Unfortunately, journalistic mistakes continue in the reports and commentary regarding this case. For example, Nevzat Bahtiyar, who was retried and received an increased sentence, is still described as a "confessor" in some outlets such as Show TV and Nefes. However, even the judiciary changed his charge; this time, Nevzat Bahtiyar was convicted of "aiding in the crime of qualified intentional killing."

Seeing that these errors persist, I decided to collect the links to my articles, posts, and the TV programs I participated in regarding the Narin Güran murder into a single file. I hope my criticisms contribute to correcting the errors in the reporting on the Narin Güran murder and to avoiding such mistakes in similar cases that may occur in the future.

I published my first article titled "The shame of harvesting ratings from tragedies" on September 18, 2024. I concluded my writings on this subject with the comprehensive article "What was written and said about the Narin Güran family?", where I listed the entire media flow regarding the murder news as of August 14, 2025, and "12 mistakes by the media in the Narin murder that influence the judiciary," where I concretized the fundamental errors of the media with examples.
