OUR STORY
The story of The Ukrainians Media began after the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, a significant milestone for our country’s democracy, as well as for us, as a media organization. From the beginning, we have been proving that Ukraine is something to be proud of, and that proactive Ukrainians are the reason to keep hope and optimism alive.
Initially, we published success stories of Ukrainians, but since then, we’ve evolved from a volunteer blog into a professional media company led by 40 young Ukrainian media specialists. We aim to attract talented Ukrainian youth to build great media. Our success comes from bright minds and skilled professionals who work with a clear mission and a thirst for change.
We started TUM with the goal of driving positive change in Ukraine, and that remains our focus. Today, TUM is an independent media ecosystem, offering not only success stories of Ukrainians but also literary reportages, podcasts, news, special projects, and educational initiatives. We prioritize quality in everything we do, evident in our products, from the sounds in our podcasts to the video projects, from photos to illustrations.
READERS SUPPORT MATTERS
People who care are the pillars of society. Readers, listeners, viewers and doers are at the heart of our media. We founded The Ukrainians Media out of a desire for change. TUM is about influencing and helping. Journalism is our job, hobby, and life. We believe in the media’s transformative power.
In turbulent times, staying ambitious and planning is tough. That’s why we’re building the largest membership program in Ukraine, allowing people worldwide to explore Ukraine and hear stories from independent journalists on the ground. Currently, over 3,000 people support The Ukrainians Media with regular contributions. They support and inspire us by making important things happen. To keep independent journalism resilient and influential, our goal is to reach at least 6,000 ambassadors. Join us on Patreon.
