Journalist.
Editor.
Pun fanatic.
Hi. I'm Polina — a Canadian journalist who aims to amplify marginalised voices through my work. My work appears in Al Jazeera, the BBC, Unbias the News and openDemocracy, among other publications. I'm an IJ4EU and Journalismfund grant recipient, and a Fellow of 2024's European Collaborative Journalism Programme.
Until recently, I was the editor-in-chief of Bedtime Magazine, a feminist print publication that focuses on eroticism, art and queer culture. Currently, I am a board member at sex-positive members' association Bedside Productions. I also work part-time as an editor at the EU's Environment Agency.
Fun facts: I co-run a feminist horror film club, and I'm really into revenge movies.
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Open to journalism and copywriting commissions across Europe.
Fluent in English, Russian and French. Getting there with Danish.
