Скачать или смотреть Cutting through the noise – "forgotten crises" in the news cycle | GMF 2025

With conflicts and crises unfolding around the globe, it can be difficult to stay informed about those not currently in the headlines. A crisis in one territory may dominate the news cycle for weeks, only to disappear from the front pages once the peak of the situation is passed.

How can crisis follow-ups fit into the news cycle and still cut through the noise? What can local journalists do to get their stories picked up by international agencies? What can be done to appeal to audiences’ empathy to make them want to seek updates proactively? This panel explores new strategies, from local reporting to innovative narrative techniques, that help keep these stories alive and engage international audiences.

Panelists:
Rafa Renas, Community Manager East Africa at Media in Cooperation and Transition (MiCT)
Sami Mahdi, Editor-in-Chief of Amu TV
Barkha Dutt, Founder and Editor of Mojo Story
Natalia Belikova, Head of International Cooperation at Press Club Belarus
