Vasylisa Stepanenko: from regional journalism to the Oscar stage

“Working in a regional media outlet in Kharkiv, I was often doubted as a journalist. But that didn’t stop me, and I kept moving forward. Even during the full-scale invasion, I found the strength to continue working,” shared Vasylisa Stepanenko, Oscar laureate, producer of the documentary film “20 Days in Mariupol,” and graduate of the 20th Media Mobility Hub.

“The Hub gave me a huge push and experience that now helps me do my job during the war, working with heroes. Sometimes it’s very difficult psychologically. But the experience from the Media Hub helps me endure.”

For us, it is a great joy and honor to unite like-minded people and pursue a common goal. Thank you, Vasylisa Stepanenko, for your inspiring opening remarks at the Wartime Media Challenges 2024: Resilience forum.
