The research and analysis group InfoLight.UA is launching a new project aimed at supporting independent local media covering events in frontline cities and de-occupied territories of Ukraine. The project “Strengthening the Voice of Frontline Media: Partnerships to Expand Impact” aims to help hyperlocal media expand their audience and increase their influence on the information space.
“We are convinced that it is extremely important to tell the news in frontline cities. National and international media pay attention mainly to high-profile events, but everyday life in these towns and villages is raging, and the people who live there, as well as journalists who are often also public activists, need to be heard,” says Yuriy Honcharenko, project manager.
Key features of the project:
- Free placement of local media content on a special aggregator.
- Targeted advertising to increase the audience of partner media.
- Pre-moderation of content to prevent the spread of misinformation.
- Technical partnership with the platform Osavul to track malicious narratives based on artificial intelligence.
The project is open to officially registered media and initiative groups seeking to expand their audience and increase their influence. Special attention will be paid to media from the frontline areas.
To participate in the project, you need to fill out a special questionnaire, which is available here: https://forms.office.com/e/WiRBEk2wmw.
“This project is our contribution to strengthening Ukraine’s information resilience. By supporting local media, we provide access to reliable information from the frontline territories and give a voice to those who are fighting on the information front every day,” adds Yuriy Honcharenko.
InfoLight.UA has experience of cooperation with the Security and Defense Sector of Ukraine and is recognized for its systematic counteraction to Russian malicious narratives.
