How this Ukranian news outlet is protecting its journalists

Ukrainian journalist Victoria Roshchyna has been missing for more than a week, and her outlet believes she is being held by Russian forces. However, Olga Rudenko, editor-in-chief of the Kyiv Independent, said journalist Oleh Baturyn, who was kidnapped last week in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Kakhovka, was just released by Russian fighters.

The Kyiv Independent is a fairly new publication but has earned acclaim for its war coverage.

“It’s gone from being a three-month-old startup and a relative unknown in the Western world to now one of the leading sources of information on the war in Ukraine,” CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter said on Reliable Sources Sunday.

Rudenko said no one on her team has been directly targeted yet, but reporting on the conflict is a “daily risk.”

“We have to remember that this is an invasion by an authoritarian regime that has been targeting journalists and media consistently for decades now,” Rudenko said.

Rudenko said the outlet is learning as they go when it comes to protecting employees who have suddenly found themselves war correspondents. Several of the Independent’s reporters already had experience working in a war zone following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Now they are once again working in dangerous locations, including Kyiv.

One of the outlet’s biggest fears is that Russian forces may cut off internet connections, hindering their ability to publish news.

“We do not concentrate” in one place, Rudenko said. “We are in different locations.”

Work goes on, but there is an emphasis on avoiding unnecessary risks.

“We are also telling reporters that safety is a priority,” Rudenko said. “No story is worth a human life.”

But the psychological impacts will last after the war, Rudenko said.

“Just being thrown into this,” Rudenko said of the toll the fighting is taking. “This new reality where we cover this horror every day and every hour.”
