Emre Kizilkaya has a B.A degree in Political Science and International Relations from Istanbul University, and an M.A degree in Journalism from Marmara University. His Ph.D. research at Galatasaray University focused on the relationship between public trust and digital media.

In 2017, Kizilkaya was awarded in the Best Use of Video category by the U.S.-based International News Media Association for producing Turkey's first VR news story,[27] and as the Best Digital Columnist by Turkish Journalists' Association for his articles on how digital transformation affects free speech.[28]

In 2018, the Turkish Journalists' Association selected Kizilkaya as the Digital Journalist of the Year for his investigation into the correlations between Google searches and Turkey's official data, revealing previously unreported trends and public-interest information on a wide range of issues including migrants, domestic violence, water pollution, and terrorism.[29]

In 2021, Kizilkaya co-produced an in-depth study into Turkey’s emerging news deserts, which was shortlisted in the Top 100 in the Sigma Awards 2022, a competition to celebrate the best data journalism from around the world.[30]
