Turning Point is an independent, non-profit magazine, documenting critical global crossroads, grounding our reporting in the realities of communities on the front lines. From war zones and militarized borders to impoverished neighborhoods and violent households, we tell the stories of people struggling behind the headlines.
Each month, our editorial team takes a deep dive into a single theme, exploring its nuances through collective discussions. As a result, we publish long-form features, essays, and photojournalism. This deliberate pace allows our international network of writers, researchers, and photographers to develop eye-opening cross-border perspectives on systemic crises, connecting isolated incidents into patterns that shape our daily life.
Founded in 2023, Turning Point operates free from corporate influence, political interference, and paywalls. We believe that rigorous, fearless journalism is a public good that must remain accessible to everyone, everywhere.
