Key priorities and recommendations for investigative media and donors in Ukraine
While the demand for investigative reporting continues to grow in Ukraine, the environment in which journalists operate is increasingly constrained and dangerous.
In Ukraine, investigative journalism has been a priority for decades, leading to a high level of expertise. But investigative journalists and media outlets are facing an increasingly precarious situation, significantly affected by Russia’s full-scale invasion and the recent USAID ‘stop-work’ order. In response, IMS and Ukrainian NGO RPDI – The Regional Press Development Institute – have convened leading Ukrainian investigative media outlets and organisations, along with key donors supporting freedom of expression and access to information.
This initiative has resulted in a set of strategic priorities and recommendations aimed at ensuring continued support for investigative journalism in Ukraine, addressing both immediate challenges and future opportunities.
