PUBLIC INTEREST JOURNALISM LAB
We research, create and popularise best practices for public interest journalism in the digital age.
We believe in high-quality journalism. The Lab team is aimed at creating content that promoted constructive discussion around complex social topics. In our work, we use interdisciplinarity e. g. cooperation with sociologists and analysts. We test different types of content, analyze audiences' feedback, research public opinion and conduct media monitoring.
WAR
Among our products there are qualitative research, media strategies, documentaries, multimedia content, trainings, etc. Since the February 24 Russian invasion, PIJL has pivoted to frontline reporting for international and Ukrainian media. Our current work also includes documenting Russian crimes in Ukraine within The Reckoning Project: Ukraine Testifies as well as compiling a modern chronicle of Ukraine’s history called “Life in War”.

Public Interest Journalism Lab (PIJL) was founded in 2020 by Ukrainian journalists Nataliya Gumenyuk and Angelina Kariakina together with activists and communication experts Tata Peklun and Inna Nelles. A pilot research by PIJL was aimed at developing editorial and information strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Russian war crimes in Ukraine: The quest for justice
Two years after Russia's full-scale invasion began, around a fifth of Ukrainian territory remains under Russian occupation – a repressive regime where arbitrary detentions, beatings and torture are the norm. Victims and activists want to ensure that such war crimes don't go unpunished; Ukrainian courts have already tried some perpetrators, and other cases are ongoing.
