Support Media that Changes World

The information front during the war is extremely important! 
Today, considerable real and potential opportunities of the media are not being properly used. In particular, both as a channel of communication with society and its unity to accelerate victory over the aggressor, and as one of the tools of waging information warfare with the enemy. That is why journalists themselves are forced to take care of the survival of the media in Ukraine. Such is the situation regarding the salvation of the newspaper, which is currently going through its most difficult times.

Thanks readers for their respect, friendly advice and loyalty... for cooperation. We thank the authors, those who were with us in spirit, for their faith in Victory, for their fiery words, for the light of writing... Your support for the fate of the newspaper and the desire to continue its greatness gives us strength, optimism and confidence: together we can do it.
Our media during the war experience challenges, trials and all efforts to save it, on the publications of which our descendants will study the history of our native land, especially during the most brutal war with the Muscovites, in which the best of the best die - HEROES OF UKRAINE and our publications.

A large number of donors have not yet realized the importance of the information war, and words are a weapon that also requires funding. So we, as best we can, survive and are forced to fight with all our efforts against this aggression of evil and lies not only on the front line, but also for the consciousness of people.
That is why, in this difficult time, we must do our utmost to ensure that our media can fully fulfill their function, to be close to the people. It is clear that in a period when a threat hangs over everyone, not everyone is able to allocate funds for donations, although the need for reliable information is especially urgent now.

But the media is not only a means of mass information that publishes news and stories of people living "here and now". This is our past and present. This is one of the factors that unites people, which makes them a community.

We really hope that together, despite the problems, we will save our publication with you. The more residents of Ukrainian communities read our articles during the war, the more unity there will be among us, the more like-minded people we will have. It is not for nothing that they say: our strength is in unity. Let us be united in our aspirations, in the fight for peace and in supporting the newspaper, which has become a reliable friend, a spiritual need, a wise teacher and advisor for many Ukrainians.

A bright memory to the journalists and editorial staff who have passed away.

Our Ukrainian charity non-profit is now working at a charity project for helping media-partners of our non-profit organisation to survive and actively work in war time:

There is a war going on now. Media activity in Ukraine has never been so important. Our correspondents work tirelessly, journalists fight on the information front - with the help of news, texts, posts on social networks, streams on YouTube, etc.

The work of a journalist in wartime is difficult and responsible. Journalists must adhere to safety rules and ethical principles; they perform difficult and responsible work professionally and effectively.

The work of journalists during war is always fraught with difficulties and dangers; journalists have to work in unfavorable conditions, face danger and overcome it.

In their work in wartime, journalists must ensure the safety of their activities and have everything necessary to ensure their safety, including a first aid kit and communications equipment.

Press must have the resources to work.

In order for the newspaper to expand the circle of its readers, support for the development of the newspaper is needed to make it better, so that journalists are motivated to work at full strength.

Currently, during the war, not all advertising products can be advertised, so now there is a shortage in funds.

During the war, all state financial resources, as well as the funds of the population, are directed towards producing and purchasing of weapons to defend ourselves for surviving, for military personnel, participating in hostilities, creating a gigantic shortage of funds for refugees and all the civilians.

Our Foundation helps independent mass media and our correspondents have a support in work.

The project support our media, partners of our CF "Democratic Society", one of which is a newspaper "Ukrainian Youth".

Our newspaper "Ukrainian Youth" is read by officials of Ukraine, people's deputies, youth, ordinary people.

Our newspaper provides objective and important information to communities, especially those affected by Russian invasion. It is also supports our media organizations, which stimulate the improvement of professional skills of journalists, cyber and physical safety of journalists, as well as the explaining to journalists their rights and their protection during war.

We support our mass media, which is now in a bad situation during military operations.

Journalists of our editorial office work non-stop in order for our readers to learn the most up-to-date information in the period of war in Ukraine as quickly as possible.

Journalists work with published only true and verified information. Our journalists defend freedom of speech and democratic values.
Project helps to provide the resources to work for our journalists, for the implementation of freedom of transport movement of our journalists, for conducting interviews, attending press-conferences, covering important events, posting articles, purchasing gadgets and journalists equipment. With true and verified information, we don't give invaders a chance in the newsroom of the battle. To resist any kind of propaganda, we support our journalists.
