The winner in the category "For a sustainable, high-quality media project / product" was the journalist, TV presenter Myroslava Barchuk. “I don't see it as personal, but as a team award: often shadow work determines the quality of our product. I want to say a few words about this team. We try to conceptualize the classical standards. We try not to balance between truth and falsehood. We try not to pretend that lying is an alternative point of view. We do not give floor to those who tries to cause a schism in the country. There is a clear distinction between impartiality and moral neutrality - the former is good and the latter is not. It is important for me that such things are noticed in our shop, ” Myroslava Barchuk said at the award ceremony.
