02: Wartime Journalism: The Case of Ukraine
Supported by ERSTE Stiftung
What is the difference between propaganda and journalism in the 21st century? What is the role of journalism during hybrid conflicts? Can journalism contribute to problem-solving if it focuses on the background and reasons for conflict and reflects on the way out of the situation, as opposed to a primary focus on factual reporting? Alongside these theoretical notions, our session will introduce practical experiences of the various paths that journalists have taken during the current conflict in Ukraine: some become entangled in information wars; others strive for more detached, fact-based reporting.
