Colorado is blessed to have two reporters who covered collapse of the Soviet Union for the Associated Press. Imagine being a baby boomer with a hankering to witness and report on the conflict between Russia and America, and then doing it during critical hinge in history.
Larry Ryckman is Editor and co-founder of The Colorado Sun, which is this state’s top news outlet. Larry Ryckman shares his experience thirty years ago as a foreign correspondent for AP covering Russia, Chechnya, and Ukraine. Listen to Larry describe Russians and Ukrainians and what it was like when the Soviet Union collapsed.
Russia’s loss of press freedoms is ominous. Russia has clamped down on legitimate journalism with 15-year prison sentences for reporting accurately on Putin’s war against Ukraine. What now is the role of the media in this conflict? And how does it affect Colorado? Listen to Larry Ryckman for his informed and entertaining perspective.
