Join the Humphrey Fellows as they examine the ethical implications of reporting from a war zone. This is particularly crucial in cases where media coverage of a war might be seen as a tool of manipulation by one or more sides of the conflict. They also consider the impact of reporting on journalists’ safety in conflict zones.
Russia’s war against Ukraine has been reported very differently in different national media. Journalists within the Russian Federation face punishment if they call into question the official designation that, like the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine is a “special military operation.” In Russia’s former Soviet neighbors, audiences have exposure to a wider range of sources and narrative framings of the war, especially its impact on Ukrainian civilian life. In this panel, Humphrey Fellows from the region will discuss the demands and pressures on journalists as they report on the war for publics for whom the outcome of the war will have profound, direct consequences.
