THE NATIONAL UNION OF
JOURNALISTS OF UKRAINE
A visit to Izium marked the beginning of the trip of the President of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), Sergiy Tomilenko, to the Kharkiv Region. The Union’s President visited the premises of the newsroom of the Obrii Iziumshchyny newspaper, destroyed during the city’s occupation by the Russians.
“I have been here before. There was life in every room here… And I hoped that after the liberation of Izium, the newsroom team would be able to work at home. But, unfortunately, now we are talking about the fact that our colleagues work “in reception,” in a room adapted for that. But we are proud that, despite all these circumstances, Obrii Iziumshchyny is published, and the newspaper is alive!” Sergiy Tomilenko shares his impression of visiting the Izium-based newsroom.
The trip program includes meetings with journalists, visiting newsrooms, and discussing problems of media restoration in the front-line and de-occupied territories.
