Works of the winners and laureates of the Information Front 2022 contest have been published in the latest edition of the We are from Ukraine! publication of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU).
The editorial team of the Novyi Den newspaper from liberated Kherson, in particular Anatoliy Zhupyna, Liudmyla Zhupyna, and Oksana Pavlenko, is working on the preparation of a special issue.
This is already the third special issue of the project of the united journalists of our country entitled We are from Ukraine! initiated by the NUJU. It is designed to achieve a high level of domestic professional journalism during the war. The special issue was prepared in cooperation with the NUJU and the All-Ukrainian charity fund Journalist Initiative. The newspaper, printed in a circulation of 20,000 copies, will be distributed via volunteer centers and mass media editorial offices throughout Ukraine.
“Each of us now has our own front – the information one,” Sergiy Tomilenko, the President of the NUJU says to the readers. “Currently, the demand for information is huge, and we can say that the journalist’s word is now your gold. Ukrainian media outlets contrast truthful, accurate, timely information with lying Russian propaganda, aimed at both their domestic and global audiences. The priority of the NUJU is to unite the efforts of media workers in such conditions that the information disseminated by the Ukrainian mass media is objective and operative.”
Among the materials of the issue is a story about Chernihiv journalist Alina Klymenko, who was the first to tell about the shooting of people in line for bread; a reprint from the Polish publication Niezależna of an article about Ukrainian business in Poland; a story of 27-year-old Mariupol doctor Andrii Serbin; a story of an emergency doctor who became a soldier; journalistic portrait of Kherson volunteer Iryna Salikhova; a note by 4th-grader Anhelina Datsenko about the war; a story about a resident of Mariupol who spent 65 days in the occupied city; an article about the experience of protecting women residents of Kosovo who suffered from violence during the war; a story of the warrior princess from Verkhovyna; a story about two friends who built 50 rural houses for immigrants; a report on how Ukrainian schoolchildren are taught in Estonia; and a story of military chaplain Mykhailo Shevchuk…
The newspaper’s columns contain only a small part of the best publications of journalists from various media. These are the works that were recognized as winners and finalists of the creative competition of the NUJU Information front 2022. Some are presented in short.
The Union held a competition for organizational support of partners – benefactors from Kyiv and Japan.
“The results of the competition clearly showed: journalists work decently on information transmission, maintain high standards of their profession and add the world truth about Ukraine,” emphasized Sergiy Tomilenko.
