268. Zakhar Protsiuk - The Kyiv Independent is Known for its Fearless Investigative Journalism in Ukraine

Zakhar Protsiuk is Chief Operating Officer at The Kyiv Independent and co-founder at The Fix Media. Zakhar is an innovator in the media industry and is helping to shake up the technologies and practices of modern journalism. His role at The Kyiv Independent was pivotal for its success, and it’s become an important voice for democracy, transparency, civil society, and human right throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion. After being established just a few months before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Kyiv Independent had developed good revenue models, but needed to pivot quickly because of the changes brought about by the war. The Kyiv Independent is notable for its fearless journalism and does not hold back from running corruption investigations and critiquing the government, even in time of war and when extraordinary pressures are being felt from a hostile information ecosystem. ---------- LINKS https://kyivindependent.com/ https://twitter.com/zakharprotsiuk https://www.linkedin.com/in/zakhar-protsiuk-2178a1196/ ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ----------
