Covering Ukraine

This episode features a discussion about decolonisation of culture and journalism between two Ukrainian journalists, Darka Hirna and Bohdana Neborak, both fellows of the Europe-Ukraine Desk. This is a major topic in Ukraine, as a decolonization process is happening at the moment, which very few in western Europe know about. They answer the questions of our Editorial coordinator while in Budapest, pausing during a series of meetings with the most prominent EU newsrooms that our project has invited them to experience. This episode marks the third in a series of four, in which we invite you to listen to Ukrainian journalists talk about their work and the coverage of Ukraine in foreign media.Credits:Recorded by Sarah-Lou LepersWritten , edited, sound-designed and mixed by Lyuba GookCovering Ukraine is a podcast produced by The Europe-Ukraine Desk, a project by n-ost and funded by the European Commission.Please write to eud@n-ost.org if you have any questions or feedback to share.
