Arma\u011fan later worked for the Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor and the World Paper magazine.<\/p>\n<p>Mentioning that Arma\u011fan has begun working in the foreign news department of the Anka Agency \u00dclman added that Arma\u011fan has acted as a foreign policy and diplomatic correspondent, as well. Arma\u011fan who has worked for the Anatolian Agency, G\u00fcne\u015f and Milliyet newspapers came first place in the \u201cAbdi \u0130pek\u00e7i Film Criticism\u201d competition in 1985; his writing has been published in Radikal, Cumhuriyet, Sabah and Hurriyet G\u00f6steri magazines.<br \/>\nArma\u011fan later worked as a Public Relations Advisor the US Embassy, and continues to write about cinema. \u00dclman added that Arma\u011fan publishes his content on \u201csanattanyansimalar.com\u201d website.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Arma\u011fan \u201cIn every society we see belief systems abused by such perversions\u201d<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Following the film, a member of the audience asked Arma\u011fan \u201cAre there similar taboos in the American press? We\u2019ve seen so many similar things happen in Turkey. I can only imagine what would happen if people tried to make such a film in Turkey. What do you think?\u201d Arma\u011fan responded:<br \/>\n\u201cIn its essence, it depends on whether real journalism can be practised or not. There, news reaches the owner of the newspaper who says \u2018publish the piece\u2019; in the US the respectability of a newspaper depends on publishing a news article if its true. The first thing we need to consider here is, for journalism to be free, journalists need to be independent and not required to deal with other things.<br \/>\nThere are of course taboos there too, but when journalistic integrity prevails things can change. In the film there is a problem with the legal system, it says \u2018wait your turn\u2019. If we were to apply what happens in the film to Turkey, we\u2019d witness a complete cover up; in every society we see belief systems abused by such perversions. The film emphasizes this happens on a global scale\u201d.<br \/>\nArma\u011fan told the audience that the film \u2018Spotlight\u2019 had received an Oscar for \u2018Best Picture\u2019, and while the plot of the film is a crime thriller, there is no single hero in the film. Haldun Arma\u011fan said \u201cthe film didn\u2019t play on people\u2019s emotions, other films took a more \u2018tabloid paper\u2019 approach in their depictions, the film <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media4democracy.org\/public\/uploads\/editor\/Spotlight%20S%C3%B6yle%C5%9Fi\/DSC_0081.JPG\" style=\"float:right; height:147px; margin:5px 10px; width:220px\" \/>was more like an informative documentary\u201d.<br \/>\n<strong><em>Spotlight<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nDirected by Tom McCarthy and written by McCarthy and Josh Singer, the 2015 American production tells the story of a group of journalists working for the Boston Globe. The newspaper depicted in the film had received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2003.<br \/>\nThe award-winning film is set in 2001, a newly employed news editor sees an article about a paedophile priest and archbishop, then the \u2018Spotlight\u2019 team sets out to research the topic. The Spotlight Team starts an investigation into widespread and systemic child sex abuse in the Boston area by numerous Roman Catholic priests. The team finds out from a former priest that there are around 90 abusive priests in Boston. The film surrounds the investigations conducted by the journalist team.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media4democracy.org\/public\/uploads\/editor\/Spotlight%20S%C3%B6yle%C5%9Fi\/DSC_0073.JPG\" style=\"height:400px;
