The Black Sea, always a vital commercial artery for both countries, has transformed into a theatre of war where military attacks, economic reprisals, and a growing threat to global food security intertwine.

How to fight against war disinformation? Julian Assange shows a way
January 1st of each year is the time for formulating resolutions to keep or break (usually the latter) during the 365 days ahead. So Martina, an ex-pacifist who now is no longer “ex”, has decided to make only one resolution for 2023. “That way,” she says, “I’m sure to keep it.”
The Ukrainian government, like Israel in Gaza, relentlessly goes on bombing residential areas in the eastern regions “to kill the terrorists hiding out there” (but also the civilians living there). The separatists, called “terrorists”, are in a siege; to break it, they have launched a bloody counteroffensive to the South, with civilian casualties there, too. Tension has spiked with rumors (later debunked) of a full-scale Russian invasion underway. And yet, in spite of it all, a glimmer of hope for peace has finally appeared. Or is it just an illusion?
La violenza non rafforza una protesta: la sfigura. Anche la più nobile delle ragioni, quando sceglie di colpire persone e cose, finisce per autocondannarsi al torto. Ma sarebbe altrettanto grave usare quelle azioni come pretesto per oscurare le domande da cui le proteste sono nate.

I media sono gli strumenti più efficaci per dare visibilità a un progetto. Ma i giornali, le tv e le radio sono sommersi di informazioni. Per emergere, bisogna fornire contenuti concisi, chiari, ben organizzati e visivamente riconoscibili. Ecco come fare buona comunicazione.
