Why Local News Still Matters — A Look at Regional Journalism from Ukraine
In today's world of algorithm-driven media and global headlines, local journalism often gets pushed aside. Everyone’s talking about geopolitics, NATO, sanctions, and global markets — but what about everyday life in cities like Poltava, in the heart of Ukraine?
Since the full-scale invasion began in 2022, the spotlight has been on Kyiv, Kharkiv, and the frontlines — and for good reason. But millions of Ukrainians live far from the front, dealing with different challenges: economic shifts, housing crises, education under martial law, displaced families, and local governance under stress.
That’s why I want to draw attention to a regional news platform I recently started following: Novyny Poltavy. It’s a Ukrainian-language outlet that focuses specifically on Poltava — a city that's rarely featured in international media but plays a key role in the country’s internal stability.
