Ukrainska Pravda broke ground in the year 2000 when it became Ukraine’s first online newspaper. Now, nearly a year into the current war with Russia, and despite frequent air raids and intermittent electricity, the “UP” newsroom continues to operate. Charles Sennott, the founder of The GroundTruth Project, which supports independent newsrooms around the world, recently visited the staff in the capital Kyiv. He spoke to The World’s host Marco Werman.
The World is an independent newsroom. We’re not funded by billionaires; instead, we rely on readers and listeners like you. As a listener, you’re a crucial part of our team and our global community. Your support is vital to running our nonprofit newsroom, and we can’t do this work without you. Will you support The World with a gift today? Donations made between now and Dec. 31 will be matched 1:1. Thanks for investing in our work!
