Ukraine’s media : ’Oligarchs remain in control and the promise of Maidan has not been fulfilled’ - watch on - uatoday.tv

“Progress has been made in Ukraine, but institutions remain weak and true independence is still elusive.” Those were the words of Brian Bonner, the chief editor of English-language weekly The Kyiv Post and a man with more than a decade of experience working in the Ukrainian media. He joined us in the Viewpoint studio.

“Relatively we are much freer than Russian and most of the former Soviet republics.”

“If you look at media ownership that we have, media analysts have looked at it: the same top five oligarchs own most of the media. [...] What the media monitors say is when they analyze the coverage, they can tell just by the content who owns it. This suggests that the owners are sill interfering in the editorial policy, and that’s detrimenta to the free speech.”

Point de vue du rédacteur en chef du Kyiv Post.

Oksana Romaniuk, the acting head of the Institute of Mass Information, a Ukrainian non-governmental organization, agreed, telling the Kyiv Post that the owners’ grip on their media is so strong that “we can now identify media ownership just by their content.”

“Owners’ censorship is one of the most serious challenges to freedom of speech,” she said. “Earlier, before the EuroMaidan Revolution, we could be talking about pressure from the authorities. Now the situation has become polarized, and the channels cover news according to their owners’ interests. There is no balanced coverage of what is happening. People don’t know about the reforms that are going on, because coverage is biased.”

Comme quoi, l’Ukraine devient un état moderne : il n’y a plus (besoin) de censure.

As a dad (and blogger) I’m concerned with the integrity of the news and entertainment my family and I consume every day. Who really produces, owns and airs the shows my kids are glued to every evening and which companies select the stories I read with such loyalty each morning? I’ve always advocated for critical consumption, and what could be more important than an awareness of the sources of our families’ daily info and entertainment diets? And today, most of our media is controlled by one of six companies.
