From January until July, I am serving a Knight International Journalism Fellowship in Ukraine. I am working with the Journalists' Initiative Association, based in Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine. We are helping promote a strong, independent media system, which we believe is crucial to democracy.

Boiko kids beamed with pride ...

... as they distributed Issue #2 of their newpaper, Boiko's Eyes. Yulia and I delivered the copies (200 of the Russian version, 100 of the English version) this afternoon. Then the students raced around the halls and went classroom to classroom, handing copies to students and teachers.

We took some last staff photos. Here's one; you'll find others in a Picasa Web album.




The Boiko School posted Issue #1 on its Web site, and we hope they'll do the same with Issue #2. To find PDFs of the first issue, go to www.boiko.com.ua, and scroll down until you see (on the right-hand side):

Внимание! Внимание! У нас теперь своя газета!
