The document summarizes the founding and goals of the NGO "Donetsk institute of information" and the DonbasPublicTV (DPTV) initiative. The NGO was founded in 2009 by journalists and volunteers to provide objective information on the political, economic, and social situation in the Donetsk region without censorship. DPTV was launched in March 2014 as an independent public TV online by Donbas journalists to inform civilians in eastern Ukraine where access to media is hindered by conflict. DPTV aims to promote open and independent media in the region through TV programs, video projects, and a journalist network across Donbass cities.
