The issue of why traditional publications need to have websites was discussed during a working trip to Kryvyi Rih conducted by the Board Chairperson of the Dnipropetrovsk regional organization of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), Oleksii Kovalchuk, Executive Secretary of the regional organization, Svitlana Iotova; and the coordinator of the Dnipro Journalists’ Solidarity Center (JSC), Nataliya Nazarova. They visited the offices of the newspapers Visti Sofiivshchyny and Visnyk in the village of Shyroke.

The editor of the Visti Sofiivshchyny newspaper, Vira Kovaliyova, has not yet considered the creation of an online platform. In the newsroom, they work together with an accountant, so there is no one to run the site, and the Internet is not available in every community where the newspaper is distributed.

But Visnyk employees from Shyroke are planning to create their own website in the near future and use digital platforms for media development.

“If a newspaper has both a website and accounts on social networks, such resources increase the possibilities of attracting advertising: someone needs advertising in the newspaper, someone needs it on the Internet, and someone needs both. You need a website, create it, and don’t waste your time! It is also desirable to register the site in the National Council as a media; this is an additional opportunity to participate in tenders and contests. We hold the information front. The regional press must develop, adapt to digital realities, find new, unusual ways for most of us,” Oleksii Kovalchuk said.

During the meeting, they also discussed other urgent problems, in particular, financial stability and development, about new challenges and opportunities for local printed publications. Colleagues showed their interest in getting to know which of the former district newspapers were published, their circulation, and how to solve the issues with the delivery of periodicals. Today, local media are literally trying to survive. Newspapers have many problems and challenges. However, preserving their main informational role for society is important.

The problem with the Ukrposhta state postal service organization is very painful for newspaper journalists. After all, local newspaper teams, which sometimes consist of two employees, do their best to quickly inform the population about important events in the region and the country. The post office often delivers newspapers to readers with a delay and refuses to accept subscriptions. Union members unanimously supported the appeal of the NUJU Board to the President of Ukraine regarding the unsatisfactory operation of Ukrposhta, printed it in newspapers, and spread it via social networks.

Oleksii Kovalchuk shared his own experience of registering a printed publication in the electronic cabinet of the National Council in light of the requirements of the new law On Media. He advised not to postpone the registration and not to forget about the risks for newsrooms arising from the enactment of the new law.
