From TikTok to Telegram — What is the war in Ukraine teaching journalists?

“I always say in journalism that everything has changed and nothing has changed," says BBC foreign correspondent Lyse Doucet, who reported from Ukraine's capital Kyiv as Russian tanks rolled into the country. The war in Ukraine shows us that history never ends, and journalists are taking extraordinary risks in composing the first draft. A key battle in this conflict is playing out online, with misinformation, disinformation, and propaganda rife, as both sides take to their phones to share their experiences of the war. So how are newsrooms countering the flood of misinformation, while also using new platforms like TikTok and Telegram in their own reporting? And where does old-fashioned eye-witness reportage fit into it all? In the first episode of Season 2 of Journo , host Nick Bryant asks what lessons we are learning from the kind of conflict we hoped had been banished to the past. Journo is a production of Deadset Studios . This episode was made with support from the Judith Neilson Institute .
