Mass media in Ukraine

Ukrainian mass media, which include press, radio and television, are independent, and the state guarantees their economic independence. There are more than 4,000 periodical editions in Ukraine now, and new radio and TV channels, newspapers and magazines appear practically every year.

The role of mass media in our everyday life is enormous. Where do we get most of the news? From TV or radio news programmes, or from newspapers. What forms public opinion? Mass media. So they bear great responsibility and should always give truthful and unbiased information to their readers and viewers.

In Ukraine there are several information agencies that supply the population of the country with the latest news. These agencies are: the "UKRINFORM" - "Ukrainian National Information Agency", the "UNIAR" — "The Ukrainian Independent Information Agency "Respublica", the UNIAN — the Ukrai­nian Independent News Agency Interfax- Ukraina" and some others. These agencies have reporters in every administrative region of our country and in all major foreign countries. They collect most interest­ing and important information for the readers of newspapers and magazines and for the TV viewers.

There are newspapers and magazines for the readers of all ages and professions, with different interests, tastes and hobbies. For example, those who are interested in politics can read the newspa­pers "Day", "Today", "Facts", "Grany", "Kyivsky Vidomosty". In these newspapers the readers can also find information about home affairs, culture and sports. These publications deal with the burning problems of our present life and history, and at the same time there you can find amusing stories, crosswords and puzzles that can entertain you in your spare time. Enthusiastic sports fans of Ukraine like the newspapers "Sportyvna Gazeta" and "Komanda" (The Team"). There is a special newspaper for those who live in the country and are interested in farming — "Silske Zhutya" ('The Rural Life"). Doctors, nurses and people who are interested in medicine prefer reading the "Medical Newspaper". There are also magazines for businessmen and businesswomen, for scientists and gardeners, etc. Those who like to learn about the new publications in literature can read the magazines "Dnipro" and "Vsesvit". Teachers have their own newspaper "Vchitelska Gazeta", and specialists of different sub­jects can buy journals in their special fields. Young people like to read the newspapers "Kosa", "Artmozaica", "Telenedelya" and others.

Some people buy newspapers and magazines every day, others prefer to subscribe to them, and in this case these periodicals are delivered to their homes. Payment for a subscription to newspapers and magazines is accepted at every post-office.

Ukrainian learners of English can find a lot of interesting information in the newspapers and maga­zines published in English — "Kyiv Post", "News from Ukraine", "Digest".

Some magazines are published every month, and they are called monthlies; if they are published every 3 months, they are called quarterlies. Newspapers are usually published daily or weekly.

Television and radio networks in Ukraine are divided into government-run companies and private TV and radio companies. The State TV and Radio Company operates two channels and includes edito­rial services that specialize in political analysis, socio-political programmes, current information, youth and sports programmes. Private channels tend to broadcast music and news programmes, a lot of adver­tising and talk shows.

Б) З сусідом по парі обговоріть, з якими з цих тверджень ви погоджуєтес,ь а з яким ні.

What do you think?

I. A: I hate watching TV. It's such a waste of time, and most of the programs are quite boring.

B: Really? I love TV. I watch quite a lot for relaxation — and I've learnt quite a lot from TV, too.

II. A: Do you think Jimmy should be watching that program at his age? So much violence can't be good for adults, let alone youngsters.

B: Oh, I don't know. Even kids can tell the difference between TV and real life.

ІІІ. A: I don't buy a newspaper every day, but I like to read one whenever something important has happened: it's better than TV or the radio.

B: I never buy them. You can't believe half of what you read.

4. I don't read newspapers at all. They are all biased. They've been taken over by companies who have political interests. And in Britain most of the papers are right-wing. There are one or two that I think are a bit more objective, but I'd rather listen to the radio.

5. Actually, I don't want to know about the details of all the troubles in the world — it's all so depress­ing. I like human interest stories — stories about people, not wars and disasters. So my daily news­ paper is a tabloid. The other good thing about a tabloid is that you can read it in ten minutes on the way to work. That's all I want.

6. 1 get a so-called quality newspaper on Sundays because it gives me a good summary of world events, but I also buy tabloids two or three times a week. People are critical of the pictures and stories of the royals and their problems that have been published in the tabloids, but I don't agree. Why shouldn't we know how we are spending our money? They are public figures, and only the tabloids give you the details — the other papers are too respectful.
