On October 25, a workshop entitled Share Your Sight: How to Write About Crime Without Bias was held, bringing together journalists, editors, students, and media professionals from all over Ukraine.
Over the course of several hours, participants immersed themselves in topics such as:
how to conduct interviews and prepare materials without stigma and prejudice;
what impact journalistic practices have on public trust in justice;
which cases from Ukraine and around the world are helping to change the approach to criminal journalism
During lively discussions and group work, media professionals sought answers to difficult questions: How can we talk about crimes without perpetuating stereotypes of victims or perpetrators? How can we be accurate and empathetic at the same time?
The workshop became a space for networking, sharing experiences, and generating new ideas about what journalism should be like—journalism that supports justice, not fear.
The project continues a series of events aimed at developing ethical approaches to covering justice and reintegration issues. After all, change begins with those who create narratives—journalists.
The event was held as part of the INSIGHT project Young Agents of Change in cooperation with AY Institute , Prirašytos rankos, Scambieuropei, Brodoto and is funded by the European Union.
