Topics of focus: 
This year’s “Media Days” will delve into the challenges media professionals face in the third year of the full-blown war and explore what lies ahead in the post-war landscape.

The panel discussions and public interviews will explore topics such as navigating censorship and self-censorship during wartime, the evolving role of social media and messaging platforms in journalism, the media’s contribution to fostering societal mediation and reintegration, addressing media-related trauma and potential solutions, challenges faced by investigative journalists, strategies for effective communication with international audiences, and more.

A highlight of the event will be a public interview with Nariman Dzhelyal, a prominent Ukrainian Crimean Tatar politician, lecturer, political scientist, and journalist. As Deputy Chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People since 2013, Dzhelyal also leads the organization’s Information and Analytical Department.
