=== Website, paywall and social media === The ''Kyiv Post'' launched its website in 1997 under Sunden. Currently, the website is updated seven days a week, approximately 10 hours a day, and includes ''Kyiv Post'' exclusive content, news and photos from wire services and aggregated articles from other news sources about Ukraine. The ''Kyiv Post'' launched an online paywall in March 2013. The erection of the paywall became financially necessary because of the decline in print advertising in the newspaper industry generally, including at the ''Kyiv Post''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Brian Bonner: News is not free, no longer is Kyiv Post |url=http://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/op-ed/news-is-not-free-no-longer-is-kyiv-post-321439.html |work=KyivPost}}</ref> During times of intense national crisis, such as the [[Euromaidan]] Revolution and the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]], the ''Kyiv Post'' has relaxed its paywall and made its coverage available freely for a limited amount of time. The website currently provides many categories of stories for free, including its aggregated content, its opinions and editorials and its multimedia offerings, including video, cartoons and photo galleries. In October 2014, the ''Kyiv Post'' started a Reform Watch project to track the progress under President Petro Poroshenko and Prime Minister [[Arseniy Yatsenyuk]] in eliminating corruption and bureaucratic obstacles to democratic progress and economic growth. In November 2021 the online paywall was removed to allow more democratic access to all readers around the world and to help elevate its viewership at such a critical time in Ukraine’s history. This strategic move by Luc Chenier, CEO of ''Kyiv Post'' would help increase ''Kyiv Post''’s digital revenue by focusing on western audiences where markets such as the USA generally pay more for views on a programmatic platform. In June 2022 the [[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian version]] of the site was launched. In December 2022, ''Kyiv Post'' launched a completely redesigned website.
