Joe Lindsley is a traveller and a writer, and American reporting on Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the Coronavirus shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.OTHER VIDEOS: 1. https://youtu.be/DM42QAF2ia4 (07-Nov-23)2. https://youtu.be/KAGt83FzXmI (26-Jan-24)3. https://youtu.be/AlD3HUTQAag (20-Feb-24)4. https://youtu.be/w8Y1XLuhB9Q (04-Apr-24)5. https://youtu.be/eA6DI5bwrq8 (05-Jun-24)6. https://youtu.be/VmQE32SHg88 (14-Nov-24)7. https://youtu.be/_0YldajNrWg (29-Jan-25)8. https://youtu.be/BcUHYVNZ5Ck (10-Feb-25)9. https://youtu.be/QIhXpr_VhFQ (15-Feb-25) ----------LINKS:https://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/donation/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Lindsleyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-lindsley-60087618/https://www.youtube.com/@jplindsleyhttps://twitter.com/JPLindsleyhttps://www.instagram.com/jplindsley/https://www.facebook.com/josephlindsleyhttps://www.ukrainianfreedomnews.com/ ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
