WHAT NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES WE READ IN UKRAINE

       Millions of people all over the world read newspapers and magazines. They play an important role in the life of any nation.

       Among the first newspapers in Ukraine were the Lviv Courier [started in 1743] and Kharkiv Weekly [started in 1717]. Since Ukraine became an independent state, the proportion of newspapers and magazines in the Ukrainian language has increased. A total of more than 3,000 newspapers are published in Ukraine, plus 1,500 magazines.

       The main national newspapers are Holos Ukrainy, Silski Visti etc. Very popular newspapers are Fakty, Dzerkalo Tyzhnya and some others. They report national and international news very thoroughly. 

       Among the popular magazines are Berehynya, Diloviy Visnyk, Korespndent, Lyudyna i Svit etc.

There are magazines and periodicals for many trades, professions and interests. They can print interesting facts about anyone and anything – the army, officials, private individuals, politics and so on. There are many local editions, too. Newspapers can be of daily and weekly publication. Magazines are usually monthlies. They vary in contents, size and appeal to different kinds of readers.

      Ukrainian periodicals are independent today. The state of Ukraine guarantees their economic independence. But in practice editors and journalists sometimes face different problems. In any democratic society press is a real ‘’fourth state’’ that provides the control of different aspects in the life of the society.
