The Nova Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine
Ten guidelines for writing about catastrophe
TIMOTHY SNYDER
… So much is happening at once that the story is hard to follow. Here are a few thoughts about writing responsibly about the event.

1. Avoid the temptation to begin the story of this manmade humanitarian and ecological catastrophe by bothsidesing it. That's not journalism. https://open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/the-nova-kakhovka-dam-in-ukraine?r=1onbpq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email #Ukraine #Journalism #BothSidesism #NovaKakhovkaDam

A great piece about evaluating news stories about the destruction of the Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine.

' If Russian propaganda for external consumption is cited, it can help to also cite Russian propaganda for internal consumption....  Russian propagandists have been long arguing that Ukrainian dams should be blown, and that a Russian parliamentarian takes for granted that Russia blew the dam... '
