“Residents of the Bereznehuvate Community, who have not moved anywhere, feel a hunger for information, because there is a lack of sources of reliable materials there. Living in this territory is currently not easy, and sometimes dangerous. But the Armed Forces of Ukraine are beating the enemy, they are gradually liberating our land, and people should know about it,” said Svitlana Lukashenko, the editor-in-chief of the Narodna Trybunanewspaper, which was published in Bereznehuvate, Mykolayiv Region, until July 24.
On January 12, a meeting with Svitlana Lukashenko took place at the Journalist Solidarity Center in Chernivtsi. Escaping from the war, she together with her family was forced to leave their hometown, and as a result, the publishing of the newspaper was stopped. Currently, she temporarily lives in Chernivtsi with her family, but never for a moment did she leave her thoughts about her readers and the resumption of the newspaper’s publishing.
On the website of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), Svitlana Lukashenko learned that with the support of NUJU, several newspaper editorial offices had resumed their work in the de-occupied or front-line territory. Therefore, she dreams that the same happened for the Bereznehuvate Community. This was discussed during a conversation with Volodymyr Bober, the coordinator of the Journalist Solidarity Center.
Journalist Solidarity Centers are an initiative of the NUJU implemented with the support of the International and European Federations of Journalists, as well as UNESCO. They are aimed at helping media representatives working in Ukraine during the war. The centers operate in Kyiv, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipro and provide journalists with organizational, technical, legal, psychological and other types of assistance.
