The talk will discuss the role of the Ukrainian mainstream media in reporting crises in the context of extensive social media, the use of Russian TV domestically and abroad, the role of international media (traditional and new web outlets), and the pro-Ukraine and pro-Russia narratives in Western elite and public opinion. It will touch as well on civic pressure for structural reforms (and against corruption), citizens and political parties, and the role of art in the Ukrainian revolution.
