We release our first podcast: Media In Progress
When the entire staff of a prominent newspaper in Ukraine gets fired for defending their editorial independence, they do something bold: They launch a brand new media outlet on their own.
The series tells the origins story of the Kyiv Independent and follows a team of journalists on this challenging adventure.

I‘ve just raised my Patreon status to the next higher level. I like the podcast and I really like the Ukraine Daily newsletter. Keep on doing this great work, especially with this multimedia approach.
I am happy to have this introductory episode of a long overdue podcast from your team. Now, I will be looking forward to the many subjects available to cover in Ukraine and around the world by your team.
Scary story :( It's important to cover what happened. I'd be curious to learn more about what might have motivated the owner to change the strategy in such a forceful way, specially given the role that an english publication has in bringing about a ukrainian voice outside of its borders. Keeping tabs on news that ultimately relate to freedom of speech are important and foundational. On a technical note: Any chance of adding this podcast to Google, so that we can activate it with the "Play the news" command to the Google Assistant?
We are waiting on Google to approve and publish our podcast. We will let you know when it's up!
again, please stop talking about yourselves. not interested. it’s self-indulgent. report on stories and news. that’s why i’m subscribing.
I couldn't disagree more, I appreciate the level of transparency and honesty, it's refreshing to have an inside view on how a new news source operates and reports
