Editing Kyiv Post (section)

==Awards and recognition==

The ''Kyiv Post''{{'s}} longtime motto on its masthead was "Independence. Community. Trust." meant to underscore its commitment to high journalistic standards and ethical practices, in contrast to many Ukrainian news outlets where publishers and owners dictate editorial policy and advertising is disguised as news stories through the purchase of space known as "jeansa" or advertorials.

The newspaper changed its official motto to "Ukraine's Global Voice" in February 2018, when the slogan appeared in the first print edition and on the website home page under the masthead as per Luc Chenier’s suggestion while on his first assignment as CEO to better represent ''Kyiv Post''’s global reach and impact.

In 2014, the ''Kyiv Post'' staff won the [[University of Missouri]] Journalism School's prestigious Medal of Honor for Distinguished Service in Journalism. The award was given to chief editor Brian Bonner and then-deputy chief editor Katya Gorchinskaya, who held the position from 2008–2015, at a ceremony at the journalism school in [[Columbia, Missouri]], on October 28, 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kyivpost.com/article/content/ukraine-politics/kyiv-post-staff-wins-2014-missouri-honor-medal-353084.html|title=Kyiv Post staff wins 2014 Missouri Honor Medal - Jun. 23, 2014|date=June 23, 2014|website=KyivPost}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title = The Missouri Honor Medal - Missouri School of Journalism|url = http://journalism.missouri.edu/jschool/honor-medal-winners/|website = journalism.missouri.edu|access-date = 2015-04-24|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151113072453/http://journalism.missouri.edu/jschool/honor-medal-winners|archive-date = 2015-11-13|url-status = dead}}</ref>

Also in 2014, Moscow-based AGT Communications Company released the findings of its survey from November 21, 2013 to May 21, 2014, that found the ''Kyiv Post'' is the most-quoted Ukrainian source of news by American and European news organizations and the second-most quoted in Ukraine and Russia, after Russia's Kommersant.
