Newspapers and Magazines in Ukraine.

Since Ukraine gained its independence the proportion of newspapers and magazines in Ukrainian increased again. A total of 2,659 newspapers were published in Ukraine in 1998 with annual circulation of 3,096 mln copies, plus 1,009 magazines.

The main national newspapers are " Holos Ukrainy", " Pravda Ukrainy", " Robitnicha Gazeta", "Fakty", "Dzerkalo Tyzhnia" and some others. They report national and international news.

Very popular magazines among the readers are the magazines " Beregynya", "Vitchizna", " Lyudyna I Svit", etc.
