As it was noted in the Committee, Chairman of the
Committee Viktoria Siumar said: "Today we have to use the professional
holiday of journalists to address the problems that exist in the information
plane in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions. Today we have a possibility to
welcome and reward with the gratitude press officers and journalists who are working
in the ATO zone. You can have some of the best journalism education, you can
write vivid texts on fb, you can shoot loud scenes-investigation, but at my
personal belief, now the most worthy representatives of the profession are here
in the ATO zone. They risk their lives daily in order that we would see and
hear the truth."
