KP Media, the leading publisher in Ukraine, is launching a redesigned website at the same address – www.kyivpost.com – starting Sept. 9.

The new site will incorporate the best elements of online news resources, in addition to including the entire content of the soon-to-be expanded newspaper.

World, national and local news will be continuously updated to keep readers abreast of the latest developments in the fast-paced world. The site will include free archives of the Kyiv Post newspaper, Ukraine’s No. 1 source of English-language news since 1995.

 “We are making these investments to better serve our readers, both in Ukraine and abroad, and our advertisers,” said Jed Sunden, owner of KP Media, which publishes the Kyiv Post. “We are committed to keeping the Kyiv Post and its online version the best in the news business.”

Yulia McGuffie, chief editor of KP Media online publications, said: “The new design and structure of the website will not only pleasantly surprise with its trendy outlook, but will allow easy navigation of the site and up-to-the-minute access to information. We will have a photo gallery that is updated regularly. The addition of blogs and readers’ forum will create the perfect changes to express your stance on the burning issues of the day.”

Brian Bonner, chief editor of the Kyiv Post, said that the enhanced online version allows the newspaper to give readers much more news and content than is possible in the printed version.

“On the new kyivpost.com site, we also plan to translate into English and include the best coverage from our sister publications in KP Media, such as Korrespondent which, for instance, annually ranks the richest and most influential Ukrainians. We don’t have enough space in the printed newspaper to include this great journalism. But cyberspace offers us unlimited possibilities.”
