One year after Putin's invasion, how is Ukrainian journalism faring?

In this episode we discuss the tremendous toll that Russia's full-scale invasion has had on journalists and the news media in the country. On 24 February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine. Since then, thousands of civilians and military personnel have been killed, cities have been turned to rubble and essential infrastructure has been destroyed. Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced and had their lives upended. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 15 journalists were killed in Ukraine in 2022, and the situation for news media remains incredibly challenging to say the least.
