Kyiv Independent editor: readers want Russia to suffer, but we won't be propagandists
Original: Kyiv Independent editor: ‘Our readers want Russia to suffer but we can’t be propagandists’
An editor of the Kyiv Independent says the outlet faces constant tension between its readers' desire to see Russia punished for its invasion and its commitment to honest journalism. In remarks reported by The Guardian, she said the newsroom cannot become propagandists despite overwhelming public anger in Ukraine, insisting on factual reporting even when it does not flatter Ukrainian narratives or satisfy audience expectations.
Why now: Ongoing interest in how wartime media in Ukraine balance truth-telling with patriotic pressure amid the continuing war.
