Information about us

Internews Ukraine

Internews Ukraine is an organization that has expertise in media, communications, education, and consulting. Innovation, professionalism, and efficiency are three pillars of our organization. Serving the Ukrainian society has been our enduring priority since 1996.

What are we striving for?

Strengthening European values in Ukraine by developing successful media, which means:

  • Bringing together media and the people: we help Ukrainians use media for free discussions of their opinions, thoughts, and key social and political issues;
  • Bringing together media and knowledge: journalists receive new opportunities to study, improve their academic education through experience, and learn about innovative technologies and new trends in the media marketplace;
  • Bringing together media and global challenges: through the media, citizens understand crucial challenges for modern society such as climate change, limited resources, and security threats; they learn how to look at information critically and how to exercise their rights (for instance, the right of access to public information) in everyday life.

Media that becomes closer to people, knowledge and global challenges helps to enact and defend fundamental human values. By supporting this media, Internews Ukraine helps to build a vibrant and prosperous society.

OUR CORE VALUES:

Responsibility: We value our work and are committed to accepting full responsibility for the results. Internews Ukraine personifies anti-indifference.

Flexibility: We know how to adapt our approach in response to ever-changing situations and circumstances. This flexibility proves to be the most effective way for us to collectively reach our objectives.

Teamwork: Each team member understands the larger picture of their role within our collective and how it multiplies our success. We work as a cohesive unit for establishing European values in Ukraine.

Stress Resilience: We are strong. We remain composed even in high-pressure scenarios. We consistently deliver work of exceptional quality, on time, and efficiently, regardless of challenging conditions.

Professionalism: Our professionalism comprises a blend of top-tier theoretical knowledge, extensive practical experience, and a strong set of personal attributes. As dedicated professionals, we prioritize delivering the highest quality results.

Independence: We are self-motivated individuals capable of taking initiative and making decisions autonomously, without the need for micromanagement. We firmly believe that self-reliant team members contribute to an autonomous team.

Efficiency: Our approach entails optimizing efforts and resources in order to maintain the highest standards and speed in task completion. Our philosophy is to do things right, the right way.

Savvy: We are resourceful and can quickly solve complex problems using logical thinking. We value humor, creativity and the ability to express thoughts clearly and consistently.

Adaptability: We are always prepared for change and embrace new challenges as they arise. In a dynamic environment, we actively experiment with new tools and methodologies.

Lifelong learning: We are open to new ideas and consistently improving our expertise. We are convinced that the growth of each team member contributes to the overall development of our organization.

Pro-Ukrainian stance: We denounce Russian aggression, uphold Ukraine's sovereignty, and advocate for its integration into the European Union.
