[edit] Biography
He studied journalism at Ankara University, Faculty of Political Science and graduated in 1982. He continued his education in London School of Journalism in 1986. Can Dündar received his master's degree in 1988 and earned 1996 his Ph.D. in politics from Middle East Technical University, Ankara.
He has produced many television programs for the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) and various private channels. He currently writes a column for Milliyet.
He is married to Dilek Dündar[3] and the couple has one child. His father allegedly worked for the National Intelligence Organization.[4]
[edit] Controversies
He has been criticized for his work "Mustafa" which depicted the founder of Republic of Turkey as a regular man with his fears, passions and humanly expectations, rather than a life-size hero.[5]
He was photographed kissing a young woman intimately on a boat tour around Bosphorus. As a result, he was accused of being insincere after writing about his love for his wife several times in his column. [6]
