February 24, 2023 will mark one year since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. After 8 years of war since Russia annexed Crimea, the full-scale invasion sparked major changes across the globe. As well as tens of thousands of deaths and the largest refugee crisis since World War II, trade stability has been thrown into crisis and international relationships have crumbled.
Over the past year, the eyes of the world have been on Ukraine, with major news and media agencies providing live coverage. Such an intensity of focus, while spreading awareness, also plays a huge role in shaping public opinion on the war and the response of national governments. To discuss these and more topics, Aspen Germany will host an International Press Luncheon “One year Russian War of Aggression on Ukraine” on February 27th, 2023. Together with 4-5 journalists, we will discuss the international news coverage over the past 12 months: How has western media’s portrayal of the war influenced the global response? Through the ensuing energy crisis, food insecurity, and inflation, how has the media’s representation of the war changed over the past year as the world grows accustomed to war and instability in Europe? We are delighted to confirm the participation of Emma Graham-Harrison, Senior Affairs Correspondent for The Guardian; Wiktoria Bieliaszyn, Journalist for Gazeta Wyborcza; and Joanna Kakissis, International Correspondent Ukraine for NPR.
