From The Poynter Report with Tom Jones:

News outlets focus on the right thing in Russia-Urkaine coverage

Here are a couple of headlines that could be found at the exact same time on Tuesday.

First, from The Washington Post: “Ukraine-Russia talks stir optimism.”

Then, from CNN: “Pentagon says don’t be fooled by Russia’s troop claim.”

So maybe there’s hope that we are moving closer to peace in Ukraine? But maybe not. The theme in Tuesday’s coverage was one that could either be described as cautious optimism or wait-and-see skepticism.
