Dear Friends, Colleagues, Journalists!

Please accept my sincere greetings on the greatest Birthday of all – theday when we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ! Just liketwo thousand years ago, today thisnews rightly maintains top position in the ratings of in-demand information.

When an angel appeared to Mary, Joseph and the shepherds, first of all he said "Fear not," and then delivered the Good News. Let our joint work in the media bring peoplejoy, hope and positive attitude to life – as opposed tofear and anxiety.

While we report the severe reality and objective facts, let us neither forget the noble calling of the medianor surrender to the pursuit of higher ratings.

I wish all media workers in 2013 to see the new horizons in their careers and to combine professional mastery and personal faith even more effectively.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2013!

Yours truly,

Ruslan Kukharchuk
