Delta Chat Needfinding report

delta.chat/assets/blog/2020-03-multitool-needfinding.pdf

For this report we have interviewed 12 journalists and human rights observers from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Taiwan and Hong Kong. While our previous needfinding research was solely focused on Ukraine, this time we have extended our sample to countries with authoritarian contexts and/or intense social conflicts (wars, protests or high rate of human rights violations). While the first report covered individuals as well as members of institutionalized media or NGOs, this time we have focused solely on people who worked in organizations as our main development priorities concern what we call “organizational support”, especially for so-called “asymmetric scenarios”. We had 5 people who work in the field and 7 people who work mostly in the office, however 2 of them had previous experience of being mobile observers or reporters.

Sinwar, like many Palestinian artists who have doubled as revolutionaries, admirably triumphs the liberation of his people in a beautiful framing. As opposed to the others, however, Sinwar is a very practical and materialistically consequential artist. His masterpiece was not a poem or a painting but a revolution in real-time. I think of Yahya Sinwar as an artist and Al-Aqsa Flood as his masterpiece.
