Reporting History: The War in Ukraine

The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has been the dominant global event of the past year. Its economic and geopolitical impact extends far beyond Eastern Europe and continues to affect countries all over the world. The media industry also found itself facing renewed questions about journalists’ safety and bias, government censorship and corporate ownership.

In the fifth episode of Reporting History, we will address these questions and examine the record of Arab media in covering the war. Our guests are two journalists who were there on the ground, witnessing history unfolding and contributing to the narrative that is being presented to an Arab audience.
