1Ukraine: World Press Freedom Day Sparks Discussions on the State of the MediaOkraina: Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety Miteraka Fifanakalozan-dresaka Momba ny Toerana Misy ny Fampahalalam-baovao
2May 3 has been declared World Press Freedom Day by the United Nations, in order to raise awareness of the importance of media freedom around the globe.Ny 3 May dia nambaran'ny Firenena Mikambana ho Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety, mba ho fampahatsiarovan-tena amin'ny lanja lehiben'ny fahalalahan'ny mpampita vaovao manerana izao tontolo izao.
3As in many other countries, in Ukraine on this day journalists traditionally announce the results of an anti-rating “Enemies of the Free Press.”Toy ny any amin'ireo firenena maro hafa, toy efa fanaony ao Okraina amin'io andro io dia ny vokatra azon'ireo “Fahavalon'ny fahalalahan'ny Fanaovan-gazety” no ambaran'ireo mpanao gazety.
4This year, the Institute for Mass Information and the Ukrainian Independent Media Trade Union have included the Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych and Prime Minister Mykola Azarov at the top of the “black list.”Amin'ity taona ity, ny Ivontoerana ho an'ny Fampahalalam-Baovaom-bahoaka sy ny Sendikan'ny Fahaleovantenan'ny Fampahalalam-baovao Tsy Miankina ao Okraina dia nampiditra ny Filohan'i Okraina Victor Yanukovych sy ny Praiminisitra Mykola Azarov ho any amin'ny voalohan-daharan'ilay “lisitra mainty.”
5Among the incidents [uk] that prompted the inclusion of President Yanukovych on the list were the disappearance of criticism of the regime from the “1+1” TV channel's story on his 100 days in office, a ban on photographing the presidential motorcade by journalists of Vechirni Visti newspaper, and reporters not being allowed to ask questions during his joint press conference with the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.Isan'ny tranga [uk] nahatonga ny Filoha Yanukovych ho tafiditra anaty lisitra ny fanafoanana ny fanakianana ny fitondrana tao amin'ny fitantaràn'ny fantsom-pahitalavitra “1+1” ny 100 andro naha-teo amin'ny fitantanana azy, ny fandraràna ny mpanao gazety ao amin'ny gazety Vechirni Visti tsy hahazo maka sary ny andiam-piara mitondra ny filoha, ary tsy famelàna ny mpanao gazety hametra-panontaniana nandritra ny valan-dresaka niarahany nanao tamin'ny Filoha Rosiana Dmitry Medvedev.
6World Press Freedom Day has also provoked many online discussions about the state of the media in Ukraine and the possible reasons behind the shrinking of press freedom in the country.Ny Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety dia niteraka ihany koa adihevitra maro mikasika ny toerana misy ny fampahalalam-baovao ao Okraina sy ny mety ho antony ao ambadiky ny faneriterena atao amin'ny fahalalahan'ny gazety ao amin'ny firenena.
7On his blog on Ukrayinska Pravda, journalist Serhiy Leshchenko wrote [uk] about the difference between Ukraine's official Journalist Day and World Press Freedom Day:Ao amin'ny bilaoginy Ukrayinska Pravda, ilay mpanao gazety Serhiy Leshchenko dia nanoratra [uk] mikasika ny fahasamihafàna misy eo amin'ny Andro ofisialy ao Okraina ho an'ny Mpanao gazety sy ny Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety:
8An [artificial] holiday - Journalist Day - exists in Ukraine, and is celebrated on June 6. This holiday has been initiated by state officials and declared by the Presidential decree.Andro tsy fiasàna [ankosotra] - Andron'ny Mpanao gazety - misy an'izany ao Okraina, ary ankalazaina isaky ny 6 Jona. Ny manampahefam-panjakana ary fanamafisan'ny didy avoakan'ny Filoha no nametraka io andro tsy fiasàna io.
9[…] It is especially cynical, how ahead of the official June 6 Journalist Day different MPs and state officials attempt to greet editorial offices with their “professional holiday.”[…] Tena faran'izay mifanohitra amin'izay tokony hosainina, mialoha indrindra ny 6 Jona andron'ny mpanao gazety, solombavambahoaka samihafa sy manampahefam-panjakana no niezaka niarahaba ireo birao mpiandraikitra ny editorial miaraka amin'ny “fialantsasatry ny matihanin-”dry zareo.
10A culmination of such absurdity is a picture of the government awarding various honors to loyal media representatives for their “merit.”Ny faratampon'izay hagaigena izay dia ny sarin'ny governemanta nanolotra mari-pankasitrahana samihafa ho an'ireo solontenan'ny mpampahalala vaovao mpankato azy ao an-toerana noho ny “fahamendrehany.”
11It can be compared to, let's say, a butcher greeting a cow on a Beef Day.Azo ampiatahaina izany amin'ny, aleo lazaintsika hoe, mpivaro-kena iray miarahaba omby iray amin'ny Andro natokana ho an'ny Hena.
12The real Journalist Day around the normal world is May 3 - World Press Freedom Day.Ny tena Andro ho an'ny Mpanao gazety ho an'ny tontolo manara-penitra dia ny 3 May - Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety.
13It is a day when journalists do not celebrate anything, but remember their murdered colleagues, politicians who interfere with their work, and governments that institute censorship.Io no andro iray tsy ankalazàn'ny mpanao gazety na inona na inona, saingy kosa ahatsiarovany ny namany lavo nisy namono, ireo mpanao politika manelingelina azy amin'ny asan-dry zareo, ary ny governemanta izay mametraka ny sakantsakana ho ara-dalàna.
14Zoryana Byndas, the executive editor of an Internet newspaper Pohlyad, shared [uk] her experience with skeptical attitudes toward press freedom that prevail in the Ukrainian media industry:Zoryana Byndas, tonian-dahatsoratra mpanatanteraka ao aminà gazety iray mpiseho anaty aterineto Pohlyad, dia nizara [uk] ny zavatra niainany miharo fahakiviana manoloana ny hoe fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovana gazety misy eo amin'ny orinasan'ny fampahalalam-baovao Okrainiana:
15I have recently attended a meeting with a potential advertiser.Tsy ela akory izay dia nanatrika fihaonana iray aho niaraka taminà mpanao dokambarotra vaventy.
16We discussed his services and how they could be best presented to our readers, clarifying details.Noresahanay ny tolotra ataony sy ny fomba faran'izay tsara atao mba hanolorana azy ireny amin'ny mpanaky anay, sy manazava tsara ny antsipirihany.
17At the end of the meeting, this man asked me about the owner of the Internet newspaper Pohlyad.Tany amparan'ilay fihaonana, nanontany ahy rangahy io mikasika izay tompon'ny gazety anaty aterineto Pohlyad.
18I responded that everything was stated on our website.Navaliko azy fa ny zavatra rehetra dia efa lazaina daholo ao amin'ny vohikalanay.
19Potential advertiser smirked and said, “Well, alright, you are in charge there, but whose property is it, who funds you, what political party.”Nitsiky ilay mpanao dokambarotra goavana no sady niteny hoe, “Eny ary e, ekena, ianao eto izao no tomponandraikitra ao, nefa an'iza izy io, iza no mamatsy vola anareo, vondrona politika inona.”
20I explained again.Dia nazavaiko indray.
21The man started getting nervous and told me how this newspaper was funded by this guy, who also owned a TV channel.Nanomboka tsy nahatombina ingahirainy ary niteny tamiko ny fomba famatsian'ity ranamana ity vola ho an'io gazety io, izay manana fantsom-pahitalavitra ihany koa.
22And how that newspaper kept covering activities of a certain party, which meant it owned the outlet.Ary ny fomba anohizan'io gazety io manohana ny asanà antoko politika iray voafaritra, izay midika fa izy no tompon'ny atidoha ao.
23The man was convinced that a small group of enthusiasts, like my friends and I, would not run an Internet newspaper, since such outlets were only created to [elevate some and discredit others in the public eyes].Resy lahatra ilay rangahy fa ny vondrona kiritika kely toy ny ahy sy ilay namako dia tsy hahavita hampiodina gazety anaty aterineto izany, noho izy ireny noforonina fotsiny mba [hampakàrana ny sasany ary handetehana ny hafa eo imason'ny vahoaka].
24“Well,” I thought to myself, “the man is right.”“Izay izany,” Tany anatiko tany aho dia nisaina, “marina ny an'ilay rangahy.”
25Independent press today is [unprecedented].Ny mpampahalala vaovao tsy miankina ankehitriny dia [tsy mbola nisy toa azy].
26Even if it still exists somewhere, one is tempted to ask, What's the catch?Na dia mbola mitohy miaina any ho any aza izy, misy foana ny hanontany, Inona no fandrika?
27On the Ukrainian political social network Politiko.ua, user Serhiy Trehubenko criticized [uk] the Ukrainian media, stating that press freedom itself was not enough for Ukraine:Eo amin'ny tambajotra sosialy ara-politika Okrainiana Politiko.ua, Serhiy Trehubenko dia nanakiana [uk] ny mpampahalala vaovao Okrainiana, amin'ny filazàna fa tsy ampy ho an'i Okraina ny fahalalahan'ny asa fanaovana gazety izy tenany fotsiny:
28Ukrainian press carries on the functions of the Soviet press - on paper, it supports development, but the outcomes demonstrate that it is worse than the communist plague.Manohy ny fomba fiasan'ny mpampahalala vaovao Sovietika ny mpampahalala vaovao Okrainiana - an-taratasy, manohana ny fampandrosoana izy, saingy ny zava-bitany dia mampiseho fa tena ratsy lavitra manoatra noho ny fony andron'ny kaominista.
29In civilized countries some things are granted, but in post-Soviet states they have to be discussed.Any amin'ny firenena nahita fivoarana dia mandeha ho azy ny zavatra rehetra, fa fony fanjakana Sovietika, mila ifampiresahana daholo izao rehetra izao.
30Freedom of the press is not enough for us, we also need to create an intelligent and responsible press that would be able to explain things as they are and suggest ways for improvement.Tsy ampy ho antsika ny Fahalalahan'ny gazety, mila koa isika manangana gazety misaina sy tompon'andraikitra, izay afaka manazava zavatra araka izay maha-izy azy sy manolotra sosokevitra ho fanatsaràna.
31On Vikna.if.ua, blogger Viktoriya Yadoshchuk wrote [uk] about why World Press Freedom Day cannot be dismissed as a simple formality in Ukraine:Ao amin'ny Vikna.if.ua, ilay mpitoraka bilaogy Viktoriya Yadoshchuk dia nanoratra [uk] mikasika ny antony tsy anilihana tsotra fotsiny ny Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety ao Okraina:
32Of course, since the Orange Revolution, the Ukrainian society has democratized because of the press.Mazava loatra, hatramin'ny Revolisiona Volomboasary, lasa demaokratika kokoa ny fiarahamonina ao Okraina noho ny asan'ny gazety.
33But it is not enough because the full freedom of expression in Ukraine [has not been achieved].Saingy tsy ampy izany satria ny tena fahalalahana maneho hevitra ao Okraina [tsy mbola tratra].
34Moreover, since [President] Yanukovych came to power, according to the watchdog Freedom House, freedom of expression has actually declined. […]Ambonin'izany, hatramin'ny [Filoha] Yanukovych tonga teo amin'ny fahefana, araka ny fanarahamason'ny Freedom House, nitontongana raha ny marina ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra […]
35As we can see, the situation is critical: Ukrainians are once again afraid to speak the truth, because of fear for the lives.Araka ny hitantsika rahateo, saropady ny zavamisy: matahotra hanambàra ny marina indray izao ireo Okrainiana, noho ny fahatahorana ny amin'ny ainy.
36I think the society itself must address this problem.Heveriko fa ny fiarahamonina ihany koa amin'ny maha-fiarahamonina azy dia tokony handinika ny amin'io olana io.
37If the nation unites in speaking the truth, it would shake up the government and prompt them to [reconsider their actions].Raha mitambatra hilaza ny marina ny firenena iray manontolo, mety hanohina ny governemanta izay ka hanosika azy ireo [hamerina hijery ny fomba fiasany].
38Let's put fear and doubts aside, let's stay honest and not allow those in power to destroy the biggest value - freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of thought, and freedom of expression!Ndao hailitsika ny tahotra sy ny fisalasalana, ndeha ho mendrika ka tsy hamela ireo eo amin'ny fahefana hanimba ny soatoavina goavan'ny - fahalalahana, fahalalahana hisafidy, fahalalahana hisaina, ary fahalalahana haneho hevitra!
39Ahead of the World Press Freedom Day, Freedom House released a report highlighting [ru] the continuous decline of press freedom in Ukraine - a piece of news that has been shared extensively by Ukrainian bloggers and Twitterers.Mialoha ny Andro Erantany Ho an'ny Fahalalahan'ny Asa Fanaovana Gazety, dia namoaka tatitra anasongadinany ny fitontonganan'ny fahalalahan”ny gazety ao Okraina ny Freedom House - ampaham-baovao izay nitampizaràna be teo amin'ny samy Okrainiana mpitoraka bilaogy sy mpampiasa Twitter.
40Earlier this year, the organization also lowered [en] Ukraine's freedom rating from “free” to “partly free.”Tany ampiandohan'ity taona ity, dia efa nahenan‘ity fikambanana ity lanja ihany koa ny laharana misy an'i Okraina amin'ny resaka fahalalahana, avy any amin'ny “malalaka” ho any amin'ny “malalaka amin'ny ampahany”.
