Ukraine, Russia and the media

Information coming out of Eastern Europe after Russia invaded Ukraine is like no other war before it with social media reporting almost in real-time. On top of that, Putin’s regime uses propaganda and misinformation to steer the narrative. It’s a lot to sort out even for the most media savvy.

The Denver Press Club brings together three media professionals with experience in Russia and Ukraine. Mark Dillen is a Denver-based media consultant who once worked with the foreign service in Moscow and taught journalism in Ukraine as a Fulbright scholar. Ann Imse is a former AP Moscow correspondent, who covered the collapse of the Soviet Union and travels to Russia to train journalists. Larry Ryckman is a former AP bureau chief in Moscow. The discussion will be led by Evan Wyloge, a Colorado Springs Gazette reporter who has worked with Ukrainian journalists.
