A few days at #ReinventingMediaBusiness at @SSE_Riga restored some of my faith in humanity ❤️ Different contexts, shared challenges, and genuine solidarity with Ukraine.
Special thanks to @TheIntlFund for making it possible to attend as both a media leader and a working mom — with the youngest participant! 🫶
Solutions journalism is part of our cognitive defense.
Russia’s war is fought not only with missiles and drones, but also through fear, panic, anger and helplessness. Journalism can help people move from helplessness toward agency — by showing that action is possible.
Shared this at #bFutureFestival in Bonn during our workshop with on @RubrykaEng experience with solutions journalism in Ukraine.
Huge thanks to @ECPMF for supporting our participation and helping bring Ukrainian media realities into these conversations 💙
And yes, one slightly younger participant also joined the discussion about the future of journalism 👀
Ahead of #URC2027, together with colleagues from the Ukrainian media sector, we’ve launched a joint statement calling for independent Ukrainian media to have a real voice in recovery discussions — and for media resilience itself to become part of Ukraine’s recovery agenda.
Join us!

As publisher not only @rubryka, but also media about Donetsk and Luhansk regions @eastern_variant I was glad to bring the perspective of an independent Ukrainian newsroom to #BREAKWATERFestival in Gdańsk.
We spoke about community-first journalism and what Ukrainian media have learned from working through war, uncertainty and constant security risks.
Thank you @LvivMediaForum, @correctiv_org for creating space for these conversations — and for supporting @eastern_variant as we build a stronger community around our journalism.
Look at the wonderful people supporting @RubrykaEng 💛 Become an ambassador for solutions journalism in Ukraine too — and get our merch here: patreon.com/cw/rubryka
Rubryka has spent the past eight years telling people-powered stories — five of those years building a strong community around them. Here's how that community has grown, how you can support Rubryka today, and what it means to be part of it

Today marks 8 years of @Rubryka & @RubrykaEng
What started as an idea became one of Ukraine’s leading media outlets, a White List media brand, and part of the solutions journalism community in Europe and globally. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who built this journey with us 💙
For 8 years, Rubryka has believed media should do more than describe problems — it should also show solutions, agency, and what can actually work. Most of all, Rubryka became a community.

🚆💥 In the morning of March 8, a drone struck the Kyiv – Sumy train carrying about 200 passengers. Among them was Rubryka photojournalist Mykola Tymchenko, who was traveling to the Sumy region on a work trip.
According to the Sumy Regional Prosecutor's Office, no one was injured.
The strike damaged the locomotive, but passengers were able to reach their final destination with the help of another locomotive. Earlier in the morning, local media and Telegram channels also reported the damage and changes to train traffic, citing railway operational updates.
Rubryka photojournalist Mykola Tymchenko, who was on board the train, documented the aftermath of the attack in photographs 📸
Rubryka, Ukraine’s leading solutions-focused media, has been included among the most popular Ukrainian online outlets demonstrating the highest level of compliance with journalism standards — 95%+
Onwards, still looking for solutions.

While I’m in a cold October Kyiv, my colleagues keep sending photos from Bonn — apparently I’m “watching over them” from every corner :)) Turns out I’m on the cover of the @bonninstitute magazine 👀
It’s a real honor: Bonn is hosting the annual and very important b° future festival of constructive journalism this week. And this year, it’s not only Rubryka sharing our experience — our Recovery Window media network is taking the stage for the first time.
If you or your friends are at the festival, here are the sessions I highly recommend:
📍 October 3 — @RubrykaEng talk
From Observers to Enablers: How Solutions Journalism Sparks Real-World Impact
📍 October 4 — #RecoveryWindow session
Networking as an Infrastructure of Trust: How 130+ Partners United to Rebuild Ukraine During the War
If you’re in Bonn — drop by, say hi, and tell us what resonated 🤍

Ми тут новий подкаст «А шо далі?» завезли.
А у ньому нова порція наснажливих історій впливу журналістів та журналістики рішень — коли показують, як вже працює і що робити, а не лише як могло б бути.
Тому з нами людина, яка знає про журналістику рішень від ремонтів ОСББ до інклюзивної відбудови все. Анастасія Руденко — головна редакторка медіа «Рубрика» та координаторка мережі «Вікно Відновлення».
Як розказані історії військових продовжили програму протезування; як українські в’язальниці надихнули спільноту з Північної Кароліни допомагати українським дітям; як досвід Молдови дав старт оновленню системи водопостачання на сході України, але це не дали завершити росіяни.
ШоТам про історії, які дають силу діяти, змінювати, надихати. І ми вміємо знаходити та ділитися такими історіями колег. Тож, вмикайте повний випуск: посилання у шапці профілю та у сторіс. А усі подкасти проєкту на YouTube-каналі ШоТам.
Подкаст створено за підтримки Представництва «Фонду Фрідріха Науманна за Свободу» в Україні. Відповідальність за зміст подкасту несе ГО «Криголам». Інформація, що представлена у відео, не завжди відображає погляди партнерів.

Розповіли історії людей із травмами війни — щоб продовжити програму протезування. Так, це новий випуск нашого подкасту «А шо далі?», де ми говоримо про силу журналістики впливати на життя та рішення.
Наша гостя — Анастасія Руденко, головна редакторка медіа журналістських рішень «Рубрика», — поділилась впливом проєкту «Обличчя сили». Команда розповіла десятки історій військових, які, попри травми, повернулися до роботи, спорту, війська, здійснили свої плани. І саме ці історії допомогли продовжити програму протезування українських бійців за підтримки Естонії.
Про журналістику рішень, щемкі історії єднання українців та змін на краще — дивіться та слухайте у повному випуску подкасту.

For the first time, independent media were part of the official conversation at #URC2025
Recovery Window, together with IMI, @UNESCO, and Ukraine’s Ministry of Culture, co-hosted a side event on why media are not optional — they are essential to recovery.
🟡 They rebuild trust.
🟡 They explain decisions & demand accountability.
🟡 They drive real change.
While Russia invests $1.5B in disinformation, Ukrainian media keep working — under pressure, in crisis, but with purpose.
That’s why we launched the Media Recovery Partnership Track — to unite those who believe media are critical to #Ukraine’s future.
We’re not waiting for the window to open — #RecoveryWindow is building it.
World Press Freedom Day. @ICFJ spotlighted @RubrykaEng — bringing Ukraine’s realities to thousands of journalists across the globe
When we asked why this #WPFD2025 is different, Ukrainian journalist Anastasia Rudenko told us: “Right now, it feels like a perfect storm has hit independent media.” Hear from other journalists in our network: buff.ly/Qyf9rfw
A powerful feature about @RubrykaEng 🇺🇦 came out on @IJNet — and I’m so grateful.
“Rubryka’s Solutions Journalism Offers a Beacon of Hope in War-torn #Ukraine” — and that’s exactly what we’re trying to do.

Exactly 7 years ago, the first stories appeared on @Rubryka / @RubrykaEng website — first media in Ukraine in the format of solutions journalism.
Since then, we've grown immensely — both as a team and as a media outlet, reaching millions of views monthly across our website and social media.
At a time when Ukraine is being attacked on many fronts to break our spirit, we seek out and tell constructive stories — and show how people can take action to change things for the better.
Thank you to everyone who has built this with us, who has read our work and supported us.
Please share @RubrykaEng with your network, help us grow, and really needed gift for our team would be your donation: rubryka.com/en/donate/
Some photos over the years — from a team that believes in what we do and wants to keep finding solutions for many years to come, no matter what 💛💙
Among many pressures, independent Ukrainian media now face an existential threat after US funding was cut overnight. But by staying united and consolidated, we have the only chance to sustain our work and continue making a difference.
Thanks to @IMSforfreemedia for the partnership, belief in us, and for this article about us — Recovery Window Media Network
