Created on the initiative of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) under the auspices of UNESCO and our foreign friends and partners, the Journalists’ Solidarity Centers (JSC) have consolidated Ukrainian journalists in the fight against Russian aggression, become real centers of invincibility, creativity, and professional improvement.

For almost two years, the JSC has been operating under the Zaporizhzhia regional organization of the NUJU. Displaced journalists from the occupied and front-line territories, local media workers, soldier journalists and volunteers, and creative youth come here for support and help, for professional and purely human communication. The Zaporizhzhia JSC became an integral part of the life of the media community during the difficult wartime.

Journalists themselves evaluate JSC’s work as follows:

“The Journalists’ Solidarity Centers of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine do vital work. I can say this as a person who participated in the events. Never before have journalists needed the support of their colleagues so much, and never before has this support been provided in such quantities. I believe that the work of the Journalists’ Solidarity Centers demonstrates not only an example of mutual assistance but also of interaction, working for a common result. And without such work, it would be much more difficult for journalists to communicate with society, which needs clear and transparent information more than ever,” said the head of the All-Ukrainian NGO Mriya/front-line journalist Yurii Hudymenko, who, after being seriously wounded at the front, now takes care of protecting the rights of Ukrainian soldiers.

“The work of the Journalists’ Solidarity Centers is very important and serious. When I come to Zaporizhzhia from a business trip to the front, I always come here, talk with my colleagues, and see how they work and how they need psychological support, training, and communication. By the way, I got my protective equipment – helmet and bulletproof vest – right here. And it is here that I recharge with energy and new ideas for my future work,” noted Oleksandr Pavlov, an experienced front-line journalist/local producer/head of the Zaporizhzhia Center for Public Initiatives.

“Do you need JSCs? But here, there are no options… Otherwise, it is completely unclear how journalists from the occupied and front-line territories can stay in the profession; how to preserve the media community in the regions in general, if we are talking about the community,” – emphasized the well-known journalist from Zaporizhzhia/participant in the NUJU’s Executed Free Speech project, Olha Bohlevska.
