Orhan, the metalci former national newspaper reporter, covered the Soma mine accident with an American news site. He was established in the fixing game by then and had developed routines for finding sources even when he lacked direct personal contacts. Instead of, like Elif, driving to the site first and hoping to meet the right victim once he arrived, Orhan monitored the Turkish media, skimming every story reported on location. He found an article mentioning an Alevi village that had lost more than a dozen men in the disaster, many of them related. Erdoğan and the governing AKP, with their increasingly sectarian Sunni Muslim identity politics, had a contentious relationship with the country’s Alevi religious minority, and Orhan knew his clients would bite at a story framed by not just sadness but also oppression.1 And with so many dead, they would find someone willing to talk.
