Long term solutions are hard to achieve. Is there any political preference for a kind of reform (left/center/right)?

Aren't you afraid once Yanukowuch resigns, the people will fight each other instead of the police? Considering there are a lot of different groups protesting, now side by side.

Journalists have to gain the trust of people, so you can get more photo opportunities and information from them. How do you do that?

And how do you keep your objectivity?

That's good to hear. I hope civilised dialog comes soon, and those methods stop.

Until then, keep save. And thank you for the ama.

In the other countries I've been to protests are more focused on single targets.

When you were in Brazil, the protests were all over the place. It was as vague as 'end corruption' and 'more education', and at some point some people were asking for a military intervention (coup). Targeting government, the police, the party in power, mayors... Are you sure your translators and fixers translate and explain things well enough?

Well, that's why I like your work. The access and time you put into it gives it a lot of dept.

But nowadays I read many comments on pieces I think are good, calling it gonzo journalism or even propaganda. Mostly because the journalist spent time with a group, and not the other. Even if there is no storytelling technic used to show the subject in a positive or negative light. How can journalists avoid those labels? Or should they do nothing differently and just wait and see what happens?
