Last February, a journalist named Svitlana Oslavska completed a book, Severodonetsk Reports from the Past, featuring ten in-depth stories about the city where she grew up. Days after she submitted the manuscript, Russian artillery began shelling the nearby suburbs. Severodonetsk is in Luhansk Oblast, the easternmost province of Ukraine; the devastation lasted until June. By then, whole swaths of the area were razed. Apartment complexes had become blasted-out husks. An ammonia plant that was synonymous with Severodonetsk, in operation for more than seventy years, was shut down.
Laboratorio de periodismo es una iniciativa de la Fundación Luca de Tena que nace para tratar de cubrir las necesidades de los periodistas derivadas de la transformación del sector, el cambio disruptivo del negocio de la información y la demanda de nuevos perfiles profesionales en entornos en los que dicha formación no está, en la mayoría de los casos, al alcance de los nuevos profesionales.
