Katerina has been covering the war in Ukraine since 2014. At that time, she was reporting not only from the Ukrainian side but also from Russian-occupied territories in the Donbas region. In this episode of NARA podcast, we talk about Ukrainian journalism in wartime and how to do your work when you are a target.
Zaborona is a long-form media platform covering social issues in Ukraine and making investigations. “You always have to think about what we have to do when such a big war happens. We cannot be so long-form anymore. We have to rebuild the system and change our minds the way we think, write, record and collect information.”
Zaborona team runs a fundraising campaign 2402 Fund for Ukrainian journalists. They have already equipped more than a hundred journalists with bulletproof vests and helmets.
They also organize first medical aid training for journalists.
