On April 13, at 6:00 pm, the Georgy Gongadze Prize will feature a lecture by Vitaliy Portnikov entitled "The Birth of Journalism in Independent Ukraine." This is the second series of the video lecture "Journalism of Independent Ukraine: History in the First Person".

Vitaliy Portnikov is a publicist, writer, columnist for Radio Liberty, founder and host of the Political Club program, which airs on the Espresso channel. During the lecture you will learn:

— how the policy of the USSR turned Ukrainian journalism into provincial;

— why Vitaly Portnikov himself did not want to be a journalist, although he came to the profession as a schoolboy;

— how the optics of the Ukrainian media have changed - their way of talking about the world and Ukraine;

— the only way for a journalist to succeed in the profession.

The lecture will be broadcast on the Facebook pages of the Georgy Gongadze Prize, PEN Ukraine, Ukrayinska Pravda, Kyiv-Mohyla Business School [kmbs], Lviv Media Forum, Media Detector and Public Media Academy.

It will be recalled that the video lecture "Journalism of Independent Ukraine: First-Person History" is a project in which leading Ukrainian journalists share stories about the creation of key media, as well as the formation of trends and phenomena that defined the information agenda in the country and witnessed by narrators. .
