Please accept my sincere greetings on the occasion of your occupational holiday the importance of which reaches far beyond specific communication areas and mass media. The work you have devoted yourself to has become an inseparable part of our everyday life, a constant, strong and pervasive factor that forms not only public opinion and social consciousness but also moral and psychological atmosphere in the country and educates its citizens.
Dynamically multiplying technical strength of the telecommunicational world, modern epoch at the same time rapidly increases the demands to the creative level, political and professional responsibility of all those, whose vocation is to fill these possibilities with adequate meaning. Both the viewer and the listener expect fair and objective reflection of current realities and future prospects, mobilizing constructive impulses. Everything that is communicated to the national platform, people’s homes and souls through the air should serve as a factor increasing not discord, apathy and disillusionment, but harmony, mutual understanding and social optimism.
I have no doubts that your potential and experience will allow you stay at the top of this seminal mission. I wish you happiness, health, strength and energy in implementing the tasks that continuously are assigned to Ukraine and the world by our tough and demanding age!
