Covering Russia’s Wars: Then and Now

A Kelman seminar co-sponsored by the Program on Negotiation presents Paule Robitaille, Independent Journalist.

Accurate reporting and insights from credible sources in the field are essential for key actors in any conflict to assess whether a resolution is ripe or not. The war in Ukraine is a prime example. In addition, the means by which journalists are covering conflicts globally have changed enormously since the independence of the former republics of the USSR. Paule Robitaille is a Canadian journalist who covered the collapse of the Soviet Union in the nineties and the conflicts that unfolded thereafter. This past December she returned to Ukraine, Georgia and Latvia. In this presentation, Paule will offer eyewitness accounts from her time in the field and share how both her profession and the means of reporting in conflict zones have changed.
