David Knowles, giornalista dietro il podcast Ukraine: The Latest del Telegraph, muore all’età di 32 anni. Allo scoppio della guerra Knowles lanciò Ukraine: The Latest, un podcast settimanale che è ancora in funzione due anni dopo. Quest’anno Ukraine: The Latest ha vinto il premio Best News Podcast ai Publisher Podcast Awards

He did great work in keeping the invasion & more importantly the struggle & threats to the Ukrainian people at the forefront for people around the world .

A few weeks ago our Aid group was part of a convoy from out of the UK delivering aid & vehicles to Front Line Units & we all listened to the podcast on the long drives each day to catch up on what we were driving into .

RIP David .

Suspicious?

It was my goto trusted source for Ukraine news in the UK..Switching onto listen to twitter spaces today I could not believe my ears of Dom’s announcement. Condolence to his family and friends. He left his mark on the world and I am grateful.

This is terrible. That podcast was a beacon for Ukraine. What a loss.

That’s terrible news, I’ve listened to that podcast everyday on my walk home from work.”…. and I’m David Knowles …” I feel sorry for his family. And his friends and listeners

I just finished his podcast episode from Friday. This podcast has given me hope when I was down from all the bad news. RIP

This looks very suspicious!

I’m shook. Listened to his voice in my ear nearly every week day for over two years. Watched the special round tables and events moderated by him. Great career ahead of him. Dead at 32. Never knew the guy but feels like I do so hit me hard. Condolences to his family.

This is difficult to process.

Those gentlemen have been a part of my every day for 2 years now.

Deepest sympathy and love for the family, his presence and voice will be missed.

I hope there is a thorough investigation is done.

I’m shocked. It’s one of my favorite podcasts. I always play it on the way to work. I remember that one of the last times I listened I thought I should Google those names because I didn’t know how he looked… A sad way to find his picture.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he was murdered because of his work.

Anyhow, rest in peace David.

This podcast in the best source for the Ukraine war

Hero in your own right, the world is a lesser place without you –

– David Knowles, journalist behind Telegraph’s Ukraine war podcast, dies aged 32

Mr Knowles’s father said his eldest son ‘loved life, and he lived it just as well as he could’ –

David Knowles, the Telegraph journalist behind the award-winning Ukraine: The Latest podcast, has died.

Mr Knowles, 32, who worked as a senior audio journalist and presenter, died while in Gibraltar on Sunday following what was believed to be a cardiac arrest.

He joined The Telegraph in 2020 as deputy head of social media and was later promoted to head of social media.

Upon the outbreak of the Ukraine war in 2022, Mr Knowles launched Ukraine: The Latest, a weekday podcast that is still running two years later.

This year, Ukraine: The Latest won the Best News Podcast at the Publisher Podcast Awards.

Mr Knowles’s father, Peter, described his eldest son as someone who “loved life, and he lived it just as well as he could”.

He said: “David’s commitment to journalism was intense. He was never prouder than when he finally shrugged off a management job title and regained a title with the word ‘journalist’ in it, and he was utterly engaged with the story of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the impact on its people, making four trips to the country and always planning the next.”

Chris Evans, the editor of The Telegraph, said: “David was a talented and popular journalist who was perhaps best known for helping to make our Ukraine podcast such a success. Before that, he was an impressive leader of our social media team. We would like to offer our sympathy to his family and friends.”

Mr Knowles launched Ukraine: The Latest as a Twitter Space before it became a fully fledged podcast. Starting on the day of the Russian invasion in February 2022, it is now approaching 100 million downloads.

He anchored the podcast and became known as its “voice”, travelling across Ukraine with his audio equipment to capture stories to pull into special episodes that told how the lives of ordinary Ukrainian people were being destroyed by Putin’s war.

He and the podcast team also toured the show in America last year, where a large part of its audience is based.

More recently, Mr Knowles and the team were invited to speak at the US embassy in London, at the Chalke History Festival, and at Armed Forces Day in Scarborough about the Ukraine war.
