Today, there is a high demand in the media for expert commentary on the legal nuances of obtaining compensation for damaged or destroyed housing, urban planning, inclusion, green reconstruction, anti-corruption, and many other issues. In response to this need, the operational team of the Recovery Window network has created an “Experts” section on its website for community members. The participants of the event will talk about how experts can become part of this circle and how media professionals can access the relevant database. In addition, the meeting will discuss issues and possible solutions in the interaction between the media and experts. For reference: The Recovery Window Media Network was launched in January 2024. The goal of the network is to unite independent media, NGOs and think tanks to report on the recovery of all affected regions on a single platform in a high-quality and transparent manner. Currently, the Recovery Window unites more than 100 independent, mostly regional, media and civil society organizations and think tanks working on various aspects of Ukraine’s recovery.
