Hanna SHEREMET, Editor of the Culture Desk:
It is considered that journalism is more than a profession; it is either mode of life or a diagnosis. For me, my profession is a hobby and vice versa. In addition, I was lucky enough: having a rather large and multifaceted experience in journalistic work, especially in
Vechirny Kyiv and Kievskie Vedomosti, I had always been occupied with what is most close and attractive for me, the arts. I observed the cultural process from within, in this way completely satisfying my own curiosity and hopefully for the readers’ good. Today it is
The Daythat gives me a pleasant opportunity to fulfill my selfish passion quite completely: to associate with intelligent and interesting people, our authors and heroes of our publications; to carry on a constant dialogue, thanks to our readers’ letters and responses; if not to affect the state of culture then at least to speak of its, unfortunately, numerous problems openly and without fear; and, above all, to find satisfaction in life.
Vitaly KNIAZHANSKY, Editor of the Economy Desk :
Less than five years from my thirty years long journalistic experience falls to The Daywhere I have worked from the first issue. And I have never happened before to reason so much about the world around us in all dimensions at the same time — to live simultaneously in the past, in the present, and in the future. In such an intense information field, the sense of time becomes almost the leading one among all other feelings. And, in my consideration, it acts in reverse: the more power you give the more it increases, and it even seems that the younger generation will not come with you. In consequence of this life and work style, the newspaper comes out charging the reader with not only information and ideas but also energy that serves to give taste to life.
Serhiy MAKHUN, editor of the Ukrayina Incognita and History and I sections :
Why do I wish more people would read and subscribe to The Day? Because a person who did not lose the art of reason in our complex times can always find in The Dayhealing food for thought, an untraditional, innovative view on the most varied subjects: political and economic analysis alternates in our pages with polemical, often provocative articles having response not only inside Kyiv. I am glad to state that the comprehension of history of both Ukraine and the world in the context of all mankind finds its embodiment in The Day’s special sections. Historical knowledge perhaps will not make easier the burdens of our days, but it is an important link of a chain connecting people of various generations, making them genuinely one nation. I wish that neither Moscow nor Warsaw nor somebody else write our history for us. We can do it ourselves every day. To what extent The Dayis equal to this difficult task is up to the readers to decide. I call upon everybody to look forward to the twenty-first century with optimism, and, of course, I wish that The Day’s latest issue is by your side as frequently as possible.
