This year, the Souspilnist Foundation’s special award, “For Significant Contribution to the Development of Journalism and Service to Public Interests” for 2024, was presented to Andrii Dubchak, war correspondent, photographer, videographer, founder, and head of the independent reporting media “Frontliner.”
The award ceremony took place within the framework of the National Press Club project in collaboration with the Media Mobility Hub Alumni Association.
In his acceptance speech, the laureate emphasized that we are living in times of great challenges for journalists and there is a pressing need to capture everything happening. According to Andrii Dubchak, we must do everything possible so that even 20-30 years from now, people will know the truth about the events in Ukraine. And even if this information is not fully consumed today, it will be of great value in the future.
At the award presentation, Taras Petriv, president of the Souspilnist Foundation, delivered a visionary speech. He emphasized that everything Andrii Dubchak and the “Donbas Frontliner” team do is not only about journalism but about a passionate heart, serving public interests, sacrifice, and dedication to their cause.
