Election of the Supervisory Board of our NGO and new members of the organization, approval of the annual activity plan

Today, a significant event took place in the life of our NGO “Student Journalism Platform”: today we accepted new members to our organization (14 people in total), who had previously filled out application forms, by collective voting. The representatives of the NGO’s supervisory board were also approved. One of them is a well-known Ukrainian journalist with many years of experience in the Ukrainian media and television, Natalia Malynovska (in particular, her last job as a journalist was at the Glavkom news agency, where Natalia worked as the director of the press centre). The other two representatives of the NGO are Amund Myklebust and Austin Malloy. Amund Myklebust is a Norwegian journalist, and have worked with various projects in Ukraine in Media and IT. Austin Malloy is an American journalist with experience in media such as the Kyiv Post and Voice of America. He currently works as a multimedia editor in the central newsroom of RFE/RL in Prague.
