Myroslava Ivanyk

Modern media Crimea

In Ukraine in general, and in Crimea in particular, the information environment of our country and of the peninsula are widely discussed. What kind of environment is it? Who does it stand for? What kind of reader does it form? What do Crimean newspapers write about and who are they targeted at?

Liliya Budzhurova

A ill-considered journalist’s word
can cause severe results

Iryna Farion

Language as a Means of the World Distortion

 The liberal and democratic ideology of the present government, similarly to the former antinational Kuchma’s regime, is still distorting the Ukrainian reality by means of marked Ukrainian words and by treasonous toleration of the invader’s language.

On Political Media Preferences on the Language Level

Ukrainian journalists used to information guerilla warfare have gained the freedom of expression and relative impunity. However, they have turned out to be unprepared for the social responsibility manifested in self-control or even in self-restriction.
