WHY DO I READ The Day?

13 November, 2012 - 00:00

The Day is Ukraine's only newspaper reaching the level of prestigious European periodicals with the attendant requirements. Its articles are laconic and more often than not come to the point. After I arrived in Kyiv last fall I had heaps of Ukrainian newspapers placed on my desk every morning. Now I prefer to concentrate on The Day on a daily basis. I use other newspapers to glance through individual articles when recommended by my embassy aides. I am busy, and I have neither the time nor desire to digest the verbose stories characteristic of many Ukrainian journalists. I think this a shortcoming and certain Ukrainian editors seem convinced that the gravity of a problem should be matched by the size of the article dedicated to it.

Another thing I like about The Day is that its authors usually take an unbiased approach to any given topic, striving to reflect the views of all the interested parties, allowing the reader to come to his own conclusions.
