This will be a new experiment in journalism because its meant to be constant coverage given to existing publications like the one you are reading this in. We will be able to expand and give real depth to what is going on.
Second and more important is the bakery sitting idle close by. It has the capacity to bake bread for 6 towns in one workday. If it is running 24 hours a day food for up to 8000 people can be made locally. Supplies and ingredients like flour will be brought in from Russia.
How to make this work
If you have been wondering how to help contact me through author contact here at OpedNews.com We need to purchase moderately expensive video equipment, most importantly a camera capable of the task. I am hopeful that we will be able to start the bakery working. After that of the bread baked can be sold to people that can afford it at reasonable prices. The cost of bread has risen 300% and it doesn't need to be that way. The other half will be shipped to areas where people cannot afford it or have no access to aid. Management would be local people and we would keep oversight of the operation. The hungry unfortunately are the growing demographic in Donbass.
With the news footage the same theory applies. Giving great footage to good publications that are working to provide news and opinion at no cost is the one chance we have to show what is going on here.
The more coverage, the better. The other side to that equation is some of the footage can be sold to news outlets. The money can be plowed back into the operational costs of both operations keeping it less reliant on donations. Because the banks locally are closed donations need to go through my wife's relatives account.
Thank you.
