The final lecture of the project was held in the media center of the Mohyla School of Journalism. In total, about 80 future journalists, students from other faculties and teachers gathered to listen to Vitaliy Portnikov. It was also possible to ask the lecturer questions.

The main purpose of the lecture is to improve the quality, objectivity, non-involvement of media content and, as a consequence, to increase the level of critical thinking and objectivity of Ukrainians' information and events.

The event was organized by the NGO "All-Ukrainian Forum for Democracy", with the support of the US Embassy in Ukraine Media Development Fund. Organizational partner - Mohyla School of Journalism. The event's media partner is the Espreso channel.
