Voices from Ukraine takes you into the lives and experiences of journalists covering one of the most consequential wars of our time. This book provides a detailed examination of war reporting in Ukraine by merging the author’s insights with the stories of journalists, collected from Ukrainian and international media sources. It claims that nationality, gender, technology, and politics have significantly influenced journalism during this crisis, creating possibilities and challenges that shape how the conflict is perceived and covered worldwide.
The author emphasizes the role played by journalists in conflicts and their impact on democratic discourse and public awareness of war. Voices from Ukraine examines the dangerous new paradigm of misinformation, the paradox of neutrality, and the personal, professional and ethical choices journalists face in combat zones. It also covers the experiences of international reporters and honors the outstanding work of women journalists in a field traditionally dominated by men.
Within the broader scope of war journalism literature, this book raises questions about how journalists’ experiences in the war in Ukraine alter our understanding of conflict reporting.
