Another newspaper has found itself on the brink of disappearance. This time in Volyn. Today, the deputy editor-in-chief of Lutsk's "Dosvitnya Zorya," Valentyna Blinova, informed IMI that the editorial team has not been receiving full salaries for several months, on March 4 the local printing house refused to print the newspaper, and since March 2 the editorial office's telephones have been disconnected. \n \nAccording to Valentyna Blinova, the reluctance of the Regional State Administration and the regional council to continue having their own newspaper can indirectly be called pressure on the publication, since during the election campaign the newspaper's staff was forced to submit information regarding the pro-government candidate. \n \nThat the newspaper was used to serve the interests of the old authorities, in Valentyna Blinova's opinion, is evidenced by the fact that in 2003 a new editor was appointed who, according to her, does not understand the specifics of the newspaper's work. Thus in 2003 the circulation of the newspaper, which is distributed mainly in villages, was increased from 10 to 40 thousand. According to Ms. Blinova, this was so that campaign materials would have a broader readership audience. The newspaper began coming out twice a week (instead of once, as before). \n \nWhen the staff asked why the newspaper was not receiving money for publishing campaign materials, the publication's management replied that they were printed "according to temnyky." \n \nCurrently the journalists are seeking ways out of the situation. The staff has come up with the idea of changing the founders and changing the statute in order to continue working and to come out for readers in the format that the journalistic team considers necessary.
