Four Facebook pages, three Telegram channels, a Viber chat, and information in local media help the Kirovohrad Regional Organization of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), on the one hand, to establish effective communication with the media, and on the other hand, to effectively disseminate information about the opportunities and services it provides for journalists Union.
The head of the regional organization, Petro Melnyk, emphasized this during the recent plenum of the Board of the NUJU.
“The output result is impressive. I can brag: we have saved several mass media companies only thanks to the NUJU’s assistance. In particular, it was financial assistance in the amount of UAH 22,000, power banks, a generator, other types of aid. Our journalists believed in their capabilities and in the desire of the NUJU to help. As a result, several newspapers that were about to shut down have postponed the decision for at least half a year. Several newspapers want to return to the information field,” Petro Melnyk said.
