Ukrainian Media Fund and its partners will host a Media Freedom Session: Special Focus Ukraine during World News Media Congress in Copenhagen on 27th May 2024.
Free, independent media across Ukraine continue to inform despite the immense challenges and devastating tragedy of ongoing war. In this session, we hear from Ukrainian media professionals as they inform the industry, media support organisations, and donors how best to respond to current needs. We will learn from Ukrainian media and industry representatives how to work together and build partnerships to project alternatives for the sustainability and viability of independent media in Ukraine. The stories of inspiring and successful collaborations with Ukrainian and international partners will raise such topics as women in news, war insurance for journalists, education and upskilling in media ecosystems, cross-border collaboration in news production and newsroom and business model development, news deserts, safety and mental well-being of journalists, and regional networking to strengthen the Ukrainian news environment.
Discussion to be led by Joanna Krawczyk from Ukrainian Media Fund / German Marshall Fund of the United States.
Session hosted by Danske Medier, Ukrainian Media Fund / German Marshall Fund of the United States, Politiken, and WAN-IFRA Media Freedom
