Connect with journalists seeking sources in Poland.
Looking for a Turkish-Polish family for a journalism project Hi everyone, I'm a journalist working on a story about the Turkish community in Poland, and I'm looking for a very specific family to speak with. I'm trying to connect with families where one parent (ideally a father) came to Poland from Turkey in the 1980s or 1990s as a trader or entrepreneur (think textiles, the old Stadion Dziesięciolecia market, Wólka Kosowska), and who now has a child who grew up here, Polish-Turkish, fully bilingual, building their life in Poland. The story is about how this community has evolved across generations: from the bazaar to the boardroom. It's a human story, told with respect, and will be published in Daily Sabah, a major English-language Turkish newspaper. I'm based in Warsaw and happy to meet in person, over coffee, wherever you're comfortable. Your story deserves to be told. If this sounds like you or someone you know, please DM me or drop a comment below. All initial conversations are completely off the record, no pressure whatsoever. Çok teşekkürler, dziękuję, thank you :))

Looking to talk with people who experienced severe psychological destabilization during heavy ChatGPT use Hi, Less than a year ago I experienced a psychotic episode during a period of very intense use of ChatGPT and similar AI systems. I’m stable now and trying to better understand what happened and how people recover from experiences like this. I’m a directing student in Poland and currently researching personal experiences related to intense AI interaction. This research may later become part of a documentary project focused on the psychological and social aftermath of such episodes - especially the process of returning to everyday life and rebuilding trust in your own perception. I’m not making claims about causality or blaming the technology. I’m interested in personal experiences and how people themselves interpret what happened. If you’ve had a similar experience and would be open to a confidential conversation, feel free to DM me. Anonymity is absolutely possible. Thank you.

Looking to speak with people who experienced a psychotic episode during intense AI use (documentary project) Hi, Less than a year ago I went through what is sometimes called an “AI-related psychosis.” It was such a large-scale and intense experience that it didn’t fit into the framework of my ordinary life or my previous understanding of reality. I’m stable now and trying to understand what it was and how to live with it. From my perspective, experiences like this are rarely openly discussed, which can make it especially difficult for people who’ve gone through something similar to return to a stable life. Often there isn’t even a language to describe what happened, or support that takes this kind of experience seriously. Out of this came the idea for a documentary film about people who have lived through similar states. I’m studying directing in Poland and currently preparing this project for further development. If you are based in Poland, that would be a big plus - but I’m open to speaking with people from other countries as well. I’m not interested in sensationalism or blaming technology. I’m interested in how a person returns to themselves after an experience that goes beyond their usual picture of the world - how self-perception changes, and how people deal with shame, loneliness, and misunderstanding from others. If you’ve had a similar experience and are open to a calm, confidential conversation, please DM me here. Anonymity is absolutely possible - both in our conversations and in the film itself. I take personal boundaries and privacy very seriously. English is not my first language, so I may use a translator in our communication. Thank you.
