Constant attacks by Russia make the Journalists’ Solidarity Centers (JSC) constantly ready for power outages as they work as co-working spaces, allowing journalists to come to get a workplace with all the necessary equipment.

The National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) provided its network of JSCs with everything necessary for work, having ensured their operation in the event of power outages. Fortunately, the Centers have not had to turn their generators on this winter, but they must be constantly ready for extreme situations. So, JSCs conducted a preventive inspection of the equipment.

The Zaporizhzhia JSC, in particular, says that due to the constant shelling of the city, there is still a threat of a blackout. Therefore, they checked the existing equipment and performed a trial run of their generator.

“Everything works stably, the light, communications, and the Internet will be provided under any conditions. For more than two years now, the NUJU’s JSC in Zaporizhzhia has been doing everything to ensure that local media and displaced journalists can work fully under any conditions. Modernly equipped workplaces have been created here. They provide constant connection, light, and the Internet. This became possible thanks to the significant technical assistance of UNESCO and our foreign colleagues, who provided JSCs with computers and office equipment, as well as a generator, Starlink, a powerful power bank, etc. Therefore, despite all the force majeure, we work without interruption,” the Center notes.

The Dnipro JSC also works without failures, where a test run of the electric current generator was conducted the other day. Thanks to NUJU‘s active cooperation with the UNESCO headquarters, media people have their own “point of invincibility” in Dnipro.

“Energy independence of the JSC in Dnipro is an additional opportunity to support colleagues in wartime conditions. Most of the newsrooms are located in the central part of the city, so we could partially solve the issue of the uninterrupted work of journalists,” says JSC coordinator Natalia Nazarova.

Compared to the eastern and southern regions, the Chernivtsi Region is a safer region. However, even here, they take care of their energy independence in case of emergencies because media workers need to work under any circumstances.

In Chernivtsi, there is a permanent co-working space for media workers, where up to 10 workplaces are arranged, and there is constant Internet and mobile communication. In the event of a power outage, it is possible to start your own generator, which provides an uninterrupted power supply for a long time. Thanks to support from UNESCO, including the provision of generators from the NUJU, in case of power outages, there is an opportunity to charge gadgets, use the Internet and mobile communication, or simply drink coffee and chat with colleagues.
