Election Notebook for Journalists in Ukraine

The Election Notebook for Journalists includes important ethical rules regulating election coverage, provides an overview of the elements which should be in place for the election process to be considered transparent and democratic, provides security considerations and gives tips on assessing and publishing election-related sociological surveys.

The notebook for Ukrainian journalists is based on the handbook “Media + Elections: An Elections Reporting Handbook” published by IMS and IMPACS (Ross Howard) in 2004. This handbook has been successfully translated and published in other countries in the region to promote fair and balanced election coverage. This time, the text has been adopted to match the needs of Ukrainian journalists.
