INVITATION
The German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP)
and Kiev Dialogue invite you to an Early Bird Breakfast
Beyond the War: Freedom of the Press in Ukraine
Tuesday, September 13, 2016, 8:30–10:00 am
(Breakfast: 8:00–8:30 am)
DGAP, Rauchstraße 17, 10787 Berlin
The issue of press freedom in Ukraine is a cause for discussion in Europe:
though in many areas Ukrainian journalists are able work free from
government constraints, oligarchs continue to have a significant influence
on reporting. The murder of Pavel Sheremet, one of Ukraine’s best-known
journalists, shook the world. Is it possible, however, to reform Ukraine’s
media landscape while there is a war taking place? Is it possible to feel safe
as a journalist in Ukraine? Where do you draw the line between countering
Russian propaganda and obstructing journalistic work? Do media owned by
oligarchs pose a threat to press freedom in Ukraine?
