The media project Bilozerka.Info has launched a series of materials about life in the liberated communities of Kherson region.
According to the MDF, the initiative, titled "Life on the Frontline," supported by the Media Development Foundation, aims to tell the story of people who, despite all the difficulties, are rebuilding their towns and villages, helping each other and developing the local economy.
As part of the project, journalists will prepare a series of articles and videos about volunteers, rescuers, doctors, local authorities, and everyone who works for the benefit of the community. The first story is dedicated to the residents of Myroliubivka and has already gained over 4 thousand views on YouTube and 55 thousand on TikTok.
According to editor-in-chief Natalia Svyryda, the main goal of the project is to show the world that Kherson region is not only about destruction and pain, but also about strength, mutual assistance, and the fight for the future.
The project is being implemented with the support of the Media Development Foundation, which provides not only funding but also mentoring at all stages of content creation.
It is worth adding that Intent played an important role in the development of Bilozerka.info, supporting the editorial team at various stages.
Thanks to Intent, the publication received financial and mentoring assistance that allowed it to expand its team and improve the quality of its content. In 2022, Bilozerka.info was run by volunteers, and in July Natalia Svyryda became the editor-in-chief. Already in 2023, with the support of Intent, the editorial board hired a news reporter and successfully applied for a grant from the Media Development Foundation, receiving funding for a year and a half.
This made it possible to increase the team to seven people, create more materials, and strengthen the publication's position in the region.
