News brothers - Istanbul, Turkey

Preface

The Tünel, an underground railway with just two stops, has ferried Istanbulites from Galata to Péra since 1875, and a newsstand has stood at its top station for 60 years. Brothers Gürsel and Bekir Kosar have manned it since buying the ancient racks from previous vendors 16 years ago.
