Gen, stiri

https://www.instagram.com/genstiri/

Gen, stiri is a news channel created by young people, targeting Romanian-speaking youth. The channel communicates through social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. The team analyses, explains and depicts events informally and engagingly so youngsters can easily grasp information.

Following the development of the Russian war against Ukraine, the project expanded and became a platform for youth from Romania and Moldova to find information and check facts. Coordinated from Romania and working with Moldovan and Ukrainian correspondents, the project covers the news through real stories from Ukrainian teenagers.

Its primary goal is to debunk disinformation and promote fact-checking among the young generation in Romania and Moldova.
