Anton Stoliarov , freelance journalist
with RPDI started by accident . In 2017 the organization was looking for a speaker for a series of trainings Deklaratsii chynovnykiv : poshuk , perevirka ta vidpovidalnist ( Official ’ s Declarations : Search , Verification and Responsibility ) which should have taught participants to analyze declarations of official ’ s and look for « betrayal » in them with the help of open registers . Since I was working on something similar at BIHUS . info at the time , the choice fell on me .
And so began several months of trips to other cities , constant improvements of presentations , and acquaintances with cool colleagues from the regions .

Olena Mudra , freelance investigator , journalist of Holos Karpat ( Voice of Karpaty ) news agency
by accident , but very timely , I applied for the training New Investigators : School for Regional Journalists from RPDI . I hit the top ten participants and had an internship at an editorial office in Kyiv . That was the moment when I became convinced that independent journalism exists , and in a healthy society this profession should remain so .»
Maia Holub , journalist , regional representative Instytut masovoi informatsii ( Institute of Mass Information ) in the Volyn region
my free time , I do taekwondo and run . In sports , as in journalism , balance , stress resistance and compliance with rules are important . Without fact-checking and ethics , it is impossible to be a good journalist . Quality journalism is evidence-based journalism , and that is exactly what RPDI teaches .»
