How the year of the full-scale Russian war affected the Ukrainian regional media? Media Development Foundation interviewed 44 regional teams to find out answers to this question. There are some facts from the study 👇
We have held the conference — «Mediapain»!
Despite the light coming off at the beginning of the event, and despite possible rocket attacks, we met with our friends and partners. Finally, we discussed all the painful issues😌
Polina Vernihor, Valeria Pavlenko, and Nikoletta Stoyanova, participants of our program «Fellowship for Media Makers» that we realized with @mict_intl, returned from trips to hot spots and deoccupied Ukrainian territories. They were in Kharkiv, Kherson, and Dnipropetrovsk regions
The spectrum of emotions journalists vary from shock through shooting to a sense of pride for the deoccupied of Ukrainian territory. Their stories are here: bit.ly/3udNCB1
One of the first participants of the program «Ukrainian Local News Emergency Fund» completed training on the distribution of content. Today they present their strategies to MDF experts.
⚡Facebook imposes restrictions on Ukrainian independent media for content related to Russian aggression in Ukraine. This is the conclusion our researchers made after a recent media survey.
Another problem is that any pages from Luhansk and Donetsk regions are banned from running ads on the platform. This is because of the global sanctions that were also applied to temporarily occupied territories.

As a result of MDF cooperation with media, 8 million Ukrainians receive accurate and credible news.
On the occasion of the Independence Day of Ukraine, we will tell you how MDF and partners help independent media to stay afloat.
