“One of the best private regional TV and radio companies” – NUJU President Sergiy Tomilenko presents Ternopil TV-4’s head with a parliamentary award

The President of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU), Sergiy Tomilenko, has presented the certificate of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to Yuliya Vinokur, the director general of the Ternopil TV channel TV-4.

“For 30 years, Yuliya has been working for her TV company. There, she worked her way from a correspondent to a manager and was able to make the TV channel one of the best private regional TV and radio companies,” notes Sergiy Tomilenko. “Now, together with her team, Yuliya is focused on maximum support of compatriots who serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces on the front lines, rallying spectators in the cause of approaching Victory and resistance to the occupiers. The channel produces high-quality Ukrainian content and is trying to effectively transform itself and survive in the extraordinary wartime economic conditions.”

Serhii Tomilenko thanked Yuliya and the TV-4 team for journalistic solidarity, for supporting initiatives to protect journalists’ rights, and for creative cooperation.

“By the way, at the beginning of 2020, when we were all afraid of the pandemic of an unknown disease – the coronavirus, the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine launched an information campaign with the slogan Journalists Are Important! My colleagues from TV-4 became the visual image of this campaign. In the current difficult war years, this motto – Journalists Are Important! – has acquired an even more powerful meaning,” Sergiy Tomilenko stressed.

Thanking the Verkhovna Rada for the award and the NUJU for presenting it to the award, Yuliya Vinokur emphasized that journalists in Ukraine hold the information front and do everything for the country’s common dream – the Victory.

As earlier reported, this year, the leadership of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine supported NUJU‘s proposal to award a group of authoritative colleagues from Nikopol, Dnipro, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy, Odesa, and other cities on the occasion of the Day of Television and Radio Broadcasting Workers. On the list was Yuliya Vinokur, who was unable to attend the parliamentary awards ceremony in November and asked to receive a certificate from the NUJU.
