16:09:43	 From  Florian E. : Good to have you here
16:28:47	 From  Ilya Kursenko : good evening! thank you for this fantastic webinar. I’m Ilya Kursenko from Russia. my question: what are the ways for us to tell the “nuclear story”? we used to have poetry contest calls at the CYG, for example. I took part in it. Karipbek Kuyukov from Kazakhstan, a famous artist, draws paintings. this is his way to tell the story, it’s a strong message he attains. we classically view scientific article writing as the way to contribute to the disarmament agenda. Would the fellow panelists we are privileged to learn from tonight have ideas or examples of what forms of writing can we use to express our aspirations for nuclear disarmament while staying on demand with the global discourse and debate? thank you!
16:29:34	 From  Andrei Cursaru : Dear Peter, Florian, Alex & Bethany, 

Thank you for this excellent webinar. Currently working at the European Commission in public affairs and as a former Public Information Intern at CTBTO and CYG Member for Eastern Europe since 2016 I have always been interested on how words can lead to action. 

My question is how to tell a story to bring change, especially in nuclear policy, in our oversaturated information environment which is prone to disinformation. 

Regards, 
Andrei
16:32:24	 From  chepurina : Many thanks to Bethany for this beautiful introduction to podcasting. You have done amazing work. Two questions: in terms of outreach usefullness to spread the message, how effective today is podcasting compared to other social media tools? 2. Could you give us 2-3 tips on how to record quality clips with basic equipment (iphone, computer) 
16:36:16	 From  Abraham Arimuko (STMKG) : Hello committees

I'm Abraham from Indonesia. I want to ask, to increase our understanding of nuclear testing. Will there be a short course for CYG members?
I have a scientific publication about nuclear testing. Is that one step to inform the general public about the dangers of nuclear?

Sincerely,
Abraham

16:38:08	 From  Essa Tsishba : Dear Florian! My name is Essa Tsishba. I'm from Russia. I'm MEPhI student. From your point of view, the search for target group in social networks using computer agents and algorithms, is it a developing and perspective direction?
16:44:09	 From  Castrol nzyooma : Warm and cordial greetings to the coordinators and fellow participants . My name is Castrol waswaya nzyooma b tech mechanical engineering currently in India  , my question is What is the best strategic approach that can be used to   engage government legislators  to  enact laws that seeks  non proliferation and disarmament of nuclear weapons ?
16:52:25	 From  Sebastian Brixey-Williams : Hi Atomic Reporters, Two years ago I wrote this report ‘Reporting on Nuclear Disarmament’, aimed at inspiring and informing next generation journalists in order to make nuclear stories part of their portfolio. How should we encourage students studying journalists to engage o
16:52:53	 From  Sebastian Brixey-Williams : *to engage with these issues, and so build the capacity of the media to provide oversight and accountability?

16:53:03	 From  Sebastian Brixey-Williams : Thanks! Sebastian
16:53:21	 From  zile huma : Hi, This is Zile Huma from Pakistan. Normally in developing countries where there are so many other issues like political , financial and social issues.Such issues get more importance in media and catch attention.Media also sells stuff which people which attracts attention. so in this situation how can we make people understand importance of issues like environment or non proliferation?.
16:56:42	 From  Galina Salnikova : I personally think that for the general public the nuclear story shall aim to make the nuclear threat more tangible. I personally like everything with comparisons like “this amount of money was spent on nukes, but it could have been spent for personal protection for medical personnel during the COVID pandemic” or sth like that. ICAN even had a survey on Instagram asking “what would you spend this money on?”
16:58:29	 From  Galina Salnikova : By the way, speaking of algorithms, won’t the pictures of bombs, war, etc. be blocked? Have you ever faced anything like that?
16:59:41	 From  Francesca Giovannini : this is such an important question. what is the nuclear story? ultimately what the Youth Group initiative is trying to do is to democratize the nuclear debate that for too long has remained confined to the scientific and diplomatic community. we just need to make the debate more accessible to everyone because nuclear risks do not discriminate between nuclear experts and general public

17:04:24	 From  Ivan Drozdov : Good evening, atomic reporters! Thank you very much for such a good opportunity to talk and listen about mobile journalism!
17:04:57	 From  Yasmin Sharif : My question would be - in the age of social media - how can we rebuild local journalism as an essential democratic force? Newspapers used to be the backbone of local and regional journalism - and by far have done a better job in informing the public - so what can we do to support and strengthen local, professional journalism and tighten its connection to communities?
17:05:13	 From  Shizuka Kuramitsu : War regards to the coordinators and participants. I am Shizuka from Hiroshima, Japan. My question is “As far as panelists perceive, what is the specific goals and aims of social media movements(e.g asking for donation, collecting signature, etc.) that tend to lead that movement successful and audience are likely to be involved?”
17:05:13	 From  Keyla Ramirez : Thank you for this oportunity My name is Keyla Ramirez, I ma from Venezuela and work at FUNVISIS as young Researcher at the Geophysics Department
17:06:29	 From  Bethany Bell : Think about what social media you consume yourselves. What appeals to you? Could it be adapted to issues around nuclear testing?

17:13:04	 From  Ivan Drozdov : Good evening, atomic reporters! Thank you very much for such a good opportunity to talk and listen about mobile journalism. My name is Ivan Drozdov from Moscow, a student of physics in NRNU MEPhI and my question is about the ethics of mobile journalism. A short video from Odessa, shot in May 2014 by a British journalist using Google Glass device, became very popular. He videotaped a short interview with foreign students-chemists openly talked about the harsh events which took place in the city these days, but when they realized that they were being recorded, they left that man immediately. How do experts rate paparazzi shooting? How do you think, Is it appropriate for Atomic Reporters to resort to covert shooting or/and other tricks?

17:35:31	 From  Alexander Nitzsche : I think poetry can be a very powerful tool. Not enough poetry about nuclear bombs.
17:35:32	 From  Elena Tsyvkunova : Thank you very much for launching such an important initiative - knowledge and experience sharing in the field of journalism. Development of writing skills is ever more crucial especially when it comes to disarmament and non-proliferation issues. Looking forward to more practical webinars!
