Contributing Analyst – Ukraine
In partnership with Paris-based non-profit Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and its Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI), an international journalism standard, NewsGuard is expanding to Ukraine, to evaluate credible news sources. Under the supervision of NewsGuard editorial staff, people involved in this project will engage with designated Ukrainian newsrooms to help them complete their JTI transparency reports, a first step toward their certification, as well as rate their news websites according to NewsGuard’s own methodology, based on nine apolitical criteria of journalistic practice. The project will help reliable newsrooms establish their credibility and transparency to advertisers, digital platforms, funders and tech companies, opening up new possibilities of financing for struggling media.
