At least one Friday each month, I host a conversation group at the American Library of the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. It is a mixture of university students and local professionals who come to practice their English conversational skills. This week we discussed the American and Ukrainian media with a special focus on news reporting. We discussed biased reporting versus factual reporting. It was interesting to hear from the Ukrainians which journals and newspapers they preferred to read and why. I was impressed when a couple of the students said that they read the Economist, which is my news journal of choice too.
