A fact from Freedom of the press in Ukraine appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 9 September 2010 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all ahead of Ukraine on this page, the latter three substantially: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index -- 198.103.152.52 ( talk) 14:18, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
I'd have thought Estonia, Lituania and Latvia have freer press'. Poland was a Warsaw Pact country.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cole1982 ( talk • contribs) 16:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Whith adding the word "amongst" to the sentences mentioned by VillemVillemVillem I made them perfectly true. I do admit that the DYK-line was thus not perfect(ly true); but discussion and improving are good thing! — Mariah-Yulia • Talk to me! 17:47, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
According to the Freedom house website Ukraine was Partly Free in 2009 (
see here). So it can not have lost it's Free status in 2010 since it never had it...
Even though Freedom house (on January 13, 2011) has said it has lost it's free status in 2010.. They don't know there own assessments it seems... Please colleagues do not blindly trust media reports about Ukraine; for instance I have noticed, through personal contacts, Western media it often exaggerates the "Pro-Russiannes" of the
Donbass and
Crimea.

There are observations ( see here and here) that the TV news in Ukraine is getting more balanced. This is something to look out for as we per WP:CRYSTALBALL can not report about it for now. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 19:38, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

I do not see the relevance of the following paragraph to the article:
The paragraph is about draft-dodging by the man. It is not about press freedom. Draft dodging is a crime just like tax-evasion. His draft-dodging was not relevant to his work as a journalist.-- Toddy1 (talk) 08:29, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

The article claims that political press interference has reduced after the Euromaidan. It ignores post-Maidan violations such as the long trial of Ruslan Kotsaba, the ongoing tribulations of Vasilets and Timonin, and a law banning expression of Communist ideas. It mentions the journalists displaced by the Donbass conflict from the Donbass to Kiev, but not the journalists displaced in the other direction (I can name at least one, Anna Dolgareva). Is there any hope for NPOV here? Ramendik ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:56, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Isn't U.S. Government funded NGO Freedom House POV given undue weight? In the lead, "Freedom House" is named four times. emijrp ( talk) 08:28, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

I am therefore deleting the first paragraph of the article as being entirely unsupported by its citations.-- Toddy1 (talk) 06:59, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

List of journalists murdered in Ukraine exists; that had been getting bloated with wartime fatalities that aren't murders, so I split those off to List of journalists killed during the Russo-Ukrainian War. In light of those, does this article need to have its own redundant timeline, with fewer entries, leading to duplication of effort? Seems like it would be better for this article to just note a few of the most notable deaths and let the two lists handle the rest.
I would propose that any useful content from Template:Timeline of reporters killed in Ukraine be merged into those two lists (the former of which could really use some love), and that the template then be taken to TfD, because content isn't really supposed to be stored in templates regardless. -- Tamzin cetacean needed (she/they) 03:13, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Even before war at 2022 Zelensky has been banning Ukrainian media and channels.
After the war has started this situation is even worse - they’re also banning YouTube channels and literally all of the .ru websites not related to the news/politics topics at all. 5.53.113.77 ( talk) 12:22, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
