Seven local teams of Suspilne became leaders in compliance with journalistic standards in 2025. These results were shown by internal monitoring of the information content of the branches on the Suspilne News website, YouTube, and radio, conducted in accordance with the editorial principles of Suspilne's information broadcasting.
” Absolutely all producers of information content strive to adhere to the standards of journalism as much as possible. And from month to month, the leaders can change. And they do change. Those teams that made it to this list according to the results of 2025 showed the strongest desire for clean content. It is worth noting two newsrooms (Suspilne Donbas and Suspilne Kropyvnytskyi), which were immediately on two of the three lists of leaders in compliance with standards by platform ,” says Fedir Skrypnyk, director of the content monitoring and broadcasting standards department at Suspilne.
