THE NATIONAL UNION OF
JOURNALISTS OF UKRAINE
The idea that no matter how successful the work of a non-governmental organization is, it can still be intensified by developing horizontal ties with concerned and related organizations was recently used by the Crimean Tatar Resource Center (CTRC).
The head of the organization and its activists invited journalists from various Ukrainian media to a press breakfast at the Muzafir restaurant. More than one and a half hours of communication showed mutual interest and generated a considerable number of ideas for both journalists and colleagues from the CTRC. The event was attended by journalists from Suspilny.UA, ZMINA Human Rights Center, QHA Crimean News Agency, Channel 5, National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), bloggers, and other media workers.
The meeting was opened by the CTRC board chairperson, Eskender Bariiev, who called on media representatives to express their observations and comments regarding the work in the field of information about Crimea and public relations and media editorials.
Tetiana Podvorniak, a communications manager for the CRTC, presented the information campaign #LIBERATECRIMEA and talked about what has already been done and what is planned to be done in the future.
There was an active discussion of various ideas and proposals. NUJU Secretary Mykola Semena spoke about the Union‘s work on intensifying the distribution of materials in the media of Ukraine about the state of occupied Crimea and the prospects for its liberation, as well as aiding citizen journalists. Colleagues from the media discussed the prospects for the creation of Crimean Tatar national-territorial autonomy in Crimea, the decommunization of toponymy and the return of authentic names of settlements, increasing the effectiveness of the products and actions of the Central Committee, holding journalists-collaborators accountable for treason, the implementation of Ukrainian laws on indigenous peoples, on the Crimean Tatar language, the problem of training personnel for the reintegration of de-occupied Crimea.
