History of Journalist's Day.

International Day of Journalists' Solidarity has been celebrated since 1958, but it has a different date - September 8.

It was on this day in 1943 that the writer, publicist, theater critic and journalist Julius Fucik, who was known for his anti-fascist views, was executed.. On this day, the world journalistic community is trying in every possible way to show the level of its professionalism and protect its rights..

On November 16, Ukraine celebrates the Day of Radio, Television and Communications Workers.

Now our country lives in the conditions of a full-scale invasion of Russia. The work of journalists now occupies a special place, since the aggressor is waging war not only on land, sea and air, but also on the information front, spreading numerous fakes. Thanks to journalists, Ukrainians and the world community can find out reliable information about war crimes committed by the occupiers.

According to the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, Russian invaders have already killed 32 media workers.

These are confirmed facts of the death of media workers under various circumstances.. Among them are journalists and media representatives who were killed while performing their professional duties or defending our state in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as media workers who became civilian victims of the Russian war..

In particular, while performing their professional duties, eight journalists were killed: three Ukrainian and five foreign, two women and six men..
