The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: American in Ukraine + What is a War Crime?

As Russia continues to wage war in Ukraine, some Americans and others around the world are leaving their more comfortable lives behind to go help. Today we’re hearing from a U.S. veteran-turned-volunteer in Ukraine. David Ribardo launched a group called Volunteers for Ukraine to organize relief efforts and collect donations, and now he’s there himself on the ground to help deliver supplies.

And later, what is a war crime? The United Nations is working to gather evidence of war crimes committed in Ukraine. If Russian soldiers or even President Vladimir Putin himself were to be indicted, what would happen next? We’re getting answers from an expert on international law, Rosa Celorio. She is the associate dean for International and Comparative Legal Studies at GW Law.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Examining Bias in News Coverage

Here at The Newsworthy, we work hard to deliver news roundups with as little bias as possible. We look at a variety of news sources, even for just one story. We do our best to cite credible sources that are perceived as both right and left-leaning in the hopes of bringing you multiple perspectives in every episode and earning your trust.

But which sources are left and right-leaning? And are there any that fall right in the center? Well, AllSides doesn’t just guess or give their opinion about it – they’ve done scientific analysis. That’s what we’re talking about today with our guest, Julie Mastrine.

She developed the AllSides Media Bias Chart and is their director of marketing and media bias ratings. She’s made it her mission to educate news consumers about bias and is sharing ‘behind the scenes’ of her media ratings in our conversation right now.
