Critical Issues
• Low penetration makes Internet “a bonus for plugged-in
  professionals but little influential to ordinary citizens” (Natalia
  Ligacheva)
• Political communication in Ukraine is affected by paid news
  coverage (jeansa, “marchetta”), accommodating journalist,
  and pressure on media
• Internet is still secondary to more traditional media
• Namely television remains the main medium for political
  propaganda (Sergey Tigipko’s campaign proves it: competent
  use of traditional media and outdoor advertising)
• Internet is currently used more as “a tool against political
  opponents” (Natalia Ligacheva )
