THE NATIONAL UNION OF
JOURNALISTS OF UKRAINE
On June 27, the plenum of the NUJU Board discussed the priority areas of activity of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU) – issues of safety of media workers, cooperation with the ministries of culture and information policy and defense, and the development of the network of Journalists’ Solidarity Centers (JSC).
The meeting also discussed the work of a number of regional organizations in Kherson, Rivne, and Donetsk, discussed the progress of the restoration of the print press in the front-line and de-occupied territories, as well as the issue of encouraging freelancers, military personnel, and digital media workers to join the NUJU.
“The experience gained by the NUJU today is indicative. In particular, the JSCs, opened jointly with UNESCO, became authoritative service hubs from the Union for media workers in wartime,” NUJU President Sergiy Tomilenko noted.
