In this special episode recorded at the Voices – European Festival of Journalism and Media Freedom, we explore how journalists continue working under extreme conditions – in Ukraine and in Gaza.
Featuring testimonies from Sergiy Tomilenko (National Union of Journalists of Ukraine) and Yousef Khader Habache (Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate – Europe), this episode focuses on the creation of Journalists’ Solidarity Centres: support hubs designed to help reporters operate in conflict environments.
From access to electricity and internet, to safety equipment and emergency funding, these hubs provide the basic infrastructure needed to sustain journalism in times of war.
In Ukraine, they were developed in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion. In Gaza, the model has been adapted to function in an environment where infrastructure has largely collapsed.
At the core of this episode: a simple question – how do you maintain journalism when the conditions to produce information no longer exist?
