Union of Journalists of Ukraine (ukr. Національна спілка журналістів України, НСЖУ) — a public organization uniting professional creative workers — journalists and other mass media workers who are professionally engaged in journalism and journalistic activities. It was created in 1957 and officially recognized by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Ukrainian SSR. In the system of Soviet organizations, the Union of Journalists belonged (in contrast to the mass trade unions) to the group of so-called public creative unions; press workers were part of the culture workers' union. The Union of Journalists was headed by the republican board, the branches of the Union operated in the regions, and primary organizations operated in separate editorial offices of newspapers, radio and television. According to official data, the Journalists Union of the USSR had more than 7,000 members in Ukraine (1975), that is, less than half of all professional journalists working in the Ukrainian SSR. The Journalists Union operated under the constant supervision of the Department of Propaganda and Agitation of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, since journalists in the USSR were considered as "helpers of the party"; organizationally, Journalists Union was subordinated to the board in Moscow. Since 1964, Journalists Union has annually awarded Halan republican prizes, regional departments — prizes of local importance. Since January 1975, Journalists Union published the monthly newsletter (later magazine) "Journalist of Ukraine". More information...
