Russia’s war in Ukraine shocked the world and put Europe’s peaceful future at stake. The violence of war urgently pushes all European societies to transform themselves, each within their particular context. It forces us all to pull together resources to carry out a rapid change – and somehow still carry on. How does the transformation affect our sense of European solidarity? And what part do we play in it as journalists?
By the choice of topics we cover and words we use, we inevitably partake in the process, all the while our own role constantly evolves as the needs and expectations of our audiences shift. In the quicksand of the war, we seem to have moved past the age-old dichotomy of journalism and activism. But where exactly do we stand at this point? And where are we headed to?
