Narrative non-fiction for slow and thoughtful reading.
Books that build a library of contexts. The only Ukrainian magazine dedicated to literary reportage and documentary photography.
Reporters is a chronicle of our era. The large-format, image-rich magazine is released four times a year, with additional themed special issues.
At the heart of the magazine are human stories — told in the tradition of literary reportage and through the lens of documentary photography.
Our reportages invite slow, thoughtful reading — a way to make sense of reality. They touch on timeless human values and never lose their relevance.
LANDSCAPES
The new print issue of Reporters brings together 18 pieces — reportage, essays, photo stories, and documentary archives — about Ukrainian landscapes. We believe that literature, too, is a form of ecological sensitivity. And that today, when our land is wounded, dug through with trenches and craters, it is worth not only looking at it, but also listening to it — and guarding it with particular care.
With the war, we are losing our meaningful spaces on an even greater scale. A person bears responsibility toward the landscape, because it is part of their identity. With this issue, we want to capture the landscapes that have shaped us. They are not just a backdrop, but deep roots from which our memory, language, and way of being in the world grow.
On the cover: a Ukrainian car in Ukrainian Crimea. Roman Pashkovskyi took this photo with a Contax film camera near the town of Koktebel, during a jazz festival. A memory of the last peaceful summer on the still-unoccupied peninsula, 2013.

Outline Maps of Memory
420 uah (~10 usd)
*Members of The Ukrainians Media Community receive a 30% discount (promo code available in the ambassador’s personal account).
A museum to which the city failed to keep its promise; a grandfather’s museum his granddaughter never set foot in; a cemetery that speaks through the inscriptions on its headstones; a shop’s stained-glass window that turned out not to be a fairytale castle, but the red lair of a beast; paintings that survived, only to be acknowledged one last time at their author’s farewell; stolen paintings; a two-hundred-year-old school that shaped its pupils into great figures.
This collection — eight essays by writers — is not merely a description of our heritage focused on walls alone. It is also an archive of private memory and a guide through the in-between time of places Russia seeks to erase.
More about the book...
The authors are: writer and publicist Olena Styazhkina; journalist and Shevchenko Prize laureate Yevheniia Podobna; editor and reporter Marichka Paplauskaite; writer and serviceman Vladyslav Ivchenko; writer and journalist Olha Kari; publicist and promoter of Ukraine’s east Natalia Mykhalchenko; editor, poet, and cultural figure Olena Rybka; journalist and program director of a book festival Sofia Cheliak.
The original idea for this book belonged to Victoria Amelina — a Ukrainian writer and human rights defender who, since the summer of 2022, had been documenting Russian war crimes. In late June 2023, a Russian missile struck a café in Kramatorsk, killing Victoria and twelve others.
