About Serdar

Serdar oversees the day-to-day editorial flow at Headlines Orbit. His job is to make sure a story is worth your eight seconds before it gets to your screen β€” which mostly means asking writers harder questions earlier. He has worked across breaking news, politics, and culture desks, and brings that range to a newsroom where the next story could be a regulatory shift in Brussels or a product launch in Mountain View. He cares about clarity, attribution, and the unfashionable habit of cutting a paragraph nobody will miss.
