Title: Senol Taskin Notebook To Grade Book
1Senol TaskinNotebook To Grade Book
Senol Taskin is a freelance financial reporter
who has been at it for nearly twenty-five years.
He says that he loves his work and can't imagine
having had any other career. But after so many
years, he says he is ready for a change. And so
he is thinking about swapping his reporter's
notebook for an instructor's grade book. He
recently spent a semester teaching business
journalism at the University of Michigan, where
he received his undergraduate degree, and says it
was an all-around pleasurable experience. "I
liked being back in that environment after so
many years," he says.
"Ann Arbor has changed in some ways since the
last time I was there, but a lot of it hadn't
changed. I'd enjoy being back in the classroom on
a fulltime basis."
2Senol Taskin Cycling Tour
Senol Taskin is a financial reporter with an
adventurous streak. Whenever he is able to get
some time away from his work, he likes to take
vacations that get him off the beaten path. In
the summer of 2014 he took a vacation with his
wife that by his usual standards was pretty tame.
The couple spent five days on a bicycle tour
through the south of France. "It's a slower pace
of life there," he recalls. "All these beautiful
sun-drenched villages just beg you to slow down
and linger. We loved it."
3Senol TaskinE-Book Article
Senol Taskin is a veteran financial and business
reporter whose work has appeared in a broad range
of publications, both conventional and
electronic. He has established himself as an
authority on the economy of Africa, but has
written on many other topics during the course of
his career. He wrote an early article on the
advent of e-books and the impact that they would
have on the way that people read. "People read in
two distinct and different ways, which in itself
is a new phenomenon,"
he wrote in Get Ready For the E-Book' in 1998.
"Liner and non-linear. Non-linear is associated
with computers and hyperlinks, and is sometimes
referred to as superficial reading, and with good
reason."
4Senol TaskinThe African Economy
Senol Taskin first made a name for himself as a
financial reporter with an article he wrote about
the African economy entitled The Emerging African
Economy. The article was published in Finance
magazine in early 1991 and got a lot of
attention. The economy of Africa, especially
that of Tanzania, has remained one of his biggest
interests during his career, and he has become
one of the leading Western authorities on African
financial matters.
In that early article he argued that the
continent was on the verge of unprecedented
growth, a forecast that has largely come true in
the years since. "Today, there is an African
middle class of some three hundred million
people,"
