🔍 What challenges do our journalists face when reporting on Russia from exile?   In 2022, our DW studio in Moscow was shut down and our journalists' press accreditation was revoked. Classified as foreign agents, our team was forced to continue its work from exile in Riga, Latvia.   We asked our Bureau Chief Juri Rescheto a few questions about their work in the Riga exile studio and the challenges the journalists encounter on a daily basis.   ➡️ Swipe through!

DW has joined numerous European broadcasters on the platform PEACH ("Personalization for each") to enable more personalization of content.    Behind PEACH stands an advanced Recommendation Engine that supports users in finding additional content that suits them - but also in breaking out of familiar patterns and giving them new perspectives on topics through recommendations.   ℹ More info about PEACH and its collaborative European Broadcasting Union (EBU) project can be found in our press release: https://lnkd.in/gt9ks3Sp

Friday evening saw an impactful and at times emotional moment when former political prisoners Vladimir Kara-Murza, Ilya Yashin and Andrei Pivovarov spoke at a press conference at DW headquarters in Bonn, organized by the late Alexei Navalny's ANTI-CORRUPTION FOUNDATION (ACF), less than 24 hours after their unexpected release.   They spoke about their ordeal and their ongoing fight for freedom while media from all over Germany, Europe and the world gathered at DW to report live from the first press conference of the three Russian ex-prisoners.   Kara-Murza, who spent almost two and a half years in solitary confinement, said: "I was sure that I would die in Putin's prison," then added: "I didn't sign a petition for pardon, but I was still pardoned. We never gave our consent to be expelled from Russia, yet we are here... I feel and I know I will be back in my home country, and it will be much quicker than you believe."   ➡ Read our press release for more information about the event and some of the standout quotes from the evening: https://lnkd.in/em55vdZj 

Can users ensure that the news really comes from a reliable source and has not been altered by, for example, AI?   Yes, they can - if certain standards are in play! That's why DW has joined the IPTC to further develop and manifest these standards in media.   Guido Baumhauer, Managing Director, Distribution, Marketing and Technology at DW: "This is a major step for us, as certifying real news as real news is how we reassure our audiences that our content is from us – and only us."   ℹ Read our press release to find out more about what the IPTC does and how its work can support independent media worldwide:

Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈✨    On the last two Saturdays, our queer colleagues and allies took to the streets for Christopher Street Day #csd2024 in Cologne and Berlin.   Organized by our Pride@DW network, we celebrated together with tens of thousands of participants in the two cities, standing up against discrimination and for diversity and tolerance.

🌍 What it's like to be an international correspondent What does it really mean to report from the world's most critical regions?

And certainly, that first year of reporting in Ukraine taught me one thing: How fragile life is, and what it means for people who experience this on a daily basis, who cannot leave like I can." From regions where democracies are at stake to places where basic human rights are under threat, our correspondent Fanny shares her experiences, challenges, and her drive. #Journalism #InternationalCorrespondent #PressFreedom #HumanRights #DWAmbassador
