Press Freedom and Ukraine

WAN-IFRA shares concerns with our members and the broader community about Ukrainian press freedom and believes that bringing the World Newspaper Congress and World Editors Forum to Kiev will provide solidarity and support for the local press in an emerging market.

WAN-IFRA has met with the presidential administration to draw attention to ongoing press freedom and business development concerns- hoping to bring positive change ahead of the World Congress.

We firmly believe that a roomful of publishers and editors discussing these issues in Kiev will send a positive message to highlight our concerns.
