Yuliana Skibitska

Editor

I was born and raised in Zaporizhzhia and worked in journalism since 2012. I started my career at the local wired station Radio Try and the newspaper Mriya. In 2014, I moved to Kyiv and worked for the newspaper Segodnya, Hromadske TV, wrote for Ukrainska Pravda, Charitum, Liga.net, The Guardian, PenOpp, and others.

In 2019, I joined Babel as an editor, later became a deputy editor-in-chief at Zaborona, and then returned to Babel. In 2020, I won the Honour of the Profession award in the Constructive Journalism category.

Currently, I teach two courses for aspiring journalists at Kyiv Media School and collaborate with the History Unit project by n-ost.
