Segodnya

Website Segodnia.ua is not a copy of the newspaper with the same name. It was launched later as a separate project. The website has its own editorial team, yet there is co-operation between the editors of both the website and the newspaper teams to increase the efficiency of the work of individual journalists or photo-correspondents and to coordinate work to avoid unnecessary duplication. After Svetlana Panyushkina has joined the team of the website, the traffic has increased. This success is related to the fact that Panyushkina is not just an editor but a media manager. The website has a Ukrainian version that indicates the outlet’s interest for Ukrainian readership, though given the editorial policy, it may not seem the target group.
