–It is important for Internasjonal reporter to help ensure that journalists gain greater familiarity with issues related to Ukraine, says Wikan.

– Everyone who has worked in a Norwegian news newsroom in recent years knows how much the war and its ripple effects shape everyday life. This is not just about foreign affairs coverage. The situation in Europe and the relationship with Russia have major consequences for Norwegian politics and society
