Hromadske.TV

hromadske () is an independent online media in Ukraine. The station was announced in June 2013 by 15 journalists, before commencing operations on 22 November 2013. It is registered as an NGO.

==History== The idea originated from journalist Roman Skrypin in September 2012. After the April 2013 ownership dispute at TVi 31 journalists resigned from TVi on 29 April 2013, they believed as TVi employees they could not anymore "guarantee our audience to provide objective and unbiased information". They then announced on 30 April 2013 to set up a "web project in which we will do the same job". The 31 former TVi journalists eventually became employed by Hromadske.TV, including the well known (in Ukraine) Mustafa Nayem. The project also included Nataliya Gumenyuk, and was also joined by journalist Yuliia Bankova, because she "in 2010, working at Pershyi Natsionalnyi for the first time [got] confronted with censorship". The project was officially announced in June 2013 by 15 journalists. A Russian counterpart Public TV Russia lasted only three months due to exhausted financial resources.
