Traditionally, journalists have been expected to be detached from the stories they cover– unmoved by major events. However, Terrell Jermaine Starr, senior non-resident fellow at The Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center, effectively blurred the lines between journalist and humanitarian during his months covering the war (and pre-war) in Ukraine. “I was there as an independent journalist,” says the ‘Black Diplomats’ podcast host and founder. “That gave me the bandwidth and the freedom to do both. And I think that I achieved both in my own little way.” Starr plans to return to Ukraine in July. April 24, 2022
