LMF Talks: Lviv Media Forum invites you to participate in conversations about the future of media

The Lviv Media Forum continues the conversation about the present and future of media, truth and disinformation, civilization, and its ability to resist a barbaric onslaught, which emerged at the LMF 2023 conference.

We are launching LMF Talks, a series of public online and offline events of various formats, focused on the future. The future of Ukraine as part of Western civilization and Ukrainian media as part of the European and global media space.

The first event will take place on June 21, LMF Talks 2.0: "From the Caucasus to Africa: Global Fallout of the War in Ukraine." Location: Lviv Media Hub.

We will discuss how Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine affects the world. The degree and manifestations of this influence on each specific country through the lens of journalists-reporters' experience.
