Make Sense. Media

Our team is constantly working on providing timely independent information and support

The independent portal of the city of Sloviansk www.6262.com.ua started its work in September 2014, immediately after the aggression in Donbas, and continues to cover events in the city and the region.
On April 19, 2018, the Public Organization «Make Sense» was founded, which is engaged in the development of independent journalism and the establishment of partnership relations in communities.
In 2022, the media holding «Make Sense» started operating in western Ukraine and launched the independent portal 0372.ua - the site of the city of Chernivtsi.
The site covers current events in Chernivtsi, works with acute topics, including: internally displaced persons and their adaptation, people with disabilities, large families, servicemen and their relatives. We pay attention to media literacy of the population and create a tolerant media space among our audience.

Make Sense. Hub

We created two «Eastern Media Hub», which located in Slovyansk (Donetsk region) and in the city of Chernivtsi (Chernivtsi region) because of the fight against russian disinformation, narratives, and to counter fake news.

Sloviansk

Our hub in Sloviansk is a workspace for national and foreign journalists who make some materials about East of Ukraine. International partners have the opportunity to improve the speed of publication of materials about the situation in Donbas, as well as increase their quantity. In our hub journalists can use video and photo equipment for shooting videos and creating photographs, recording podcasts, video editing, and podcast editing.
