A discussion between two of our Ukrainian fellows, Alona Savchuk, who is a journalist and reporter, and Oksana Rasulova, a freelance journalist editor who works for the Ukrainian NGO Media Initiative for Human Rights.

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.

This episode allows you to witness the questions and doubts that arose among our fellows about how to do journalism in a country at war, especially when it’s your country. They also visit Bucha and share their emotions and feelings. Some of them have a feeling of Deja Vu, because they have written about it from their home country dozens of times, without having set foot there.
