Call For Stories

This series explores popular perceptions of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in countries where pro-Russian news channels and social media messaging dominate the information ecosystem. Help us find media on the ground. Pitch your stories ideas via Mediabridge. This series is led by Coda Story and the Regional Press Development Institute (Ukraine) and supported by International Media Support.

 

We invite media across the globe to help us unearth the following questions:

• How are the news events, and historical context of the conflict understood in these countries?
• What are the main methods that pro-Russian news and tech actors use to create these perceptions?
• What is the impact in the countries of coverage, and on the conflict in Ukraine?
