Hit pieces, gag orders, fakes, activism, media ownership, targeting, social network algorithms, new media\u2026 what do all these words mean to you? They are the matter of work of a journalist in the development of digital technologies. Revolutions, civic activism, fighting propaganda, falsifications, manipulations. And what do these words stand for? They are related to the work of an activist and journalist who raises socially important topics. Journalism and activism are one. A journalist cannot be indifferent, he is, by default, an activist. While activism without journalism does not possess the necessary force to create real change at the national level. There might be a decent initiative, but if no one knows about it, it doesn\u2019t exist for the public. Therefore, in November-December 2020, the All-Ukrainian Initiative \u201cActive Community\u201d held a School of Civic Journalism which taught students to combine activism and journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
