Newspaper as old as company itself

Alongside with other achievements already
mentioned, Motor Sich Company is one of the few enterprises, which let out their own newspaper for a pretty long time! The factory newspaper now titled.


Motor Sich has been playing an important role through the 100-year history of Motor
Sich JSC. It has been published since the mid 1920s when it used to be a wall newspaper, but soon after it became a factory newspaper titled Shatun (conrod) that gained wide popularity.Then, the newspaper was printed in the Communard
printing-house once a week. In 1929, it was titled Za oboronu (for defence) and was published six times a week on four broadsides. In the time of World War II, the newspaper kept on functioning and fulfilling its task. The editorial staff as the whole factory was evacuated to the city of Omsk that is behind the Urals. There was no enough room for editorial staff and printing machinery at the new place: a 20-sqare-meter room was earmarked for the newspaper purposes in the overhaul shop just near the testbed, and type cases and the Americana printing-press were accommodated in it. At first, newspapers were printed in the regional printing-house, and then a factory own printing-house started working. In the 1960s, the Mashinostroitel newspaper was issued on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays,
and Saturdays. The editorial mail is an index of the newspaper popularity: our readers determine their favorite subjects and headings that have related news items. The newspaper responds rapidly to social and political events of this country: going behind the things. People appreciate the prompt and comprehensive coverage of exciting issues of shareholding, taxation, crediting, medical insurance, the pensions provision reform, rent, public utilities, etc.The newspaper has been a link between the company management and employees team by speaking frankly about company’s problems, achievements, and prospects. It followed strictly these principles even in the most problematic years of Ukraine’s history. The editors dedicate a lot of ma-terials to the company’s Deputies Corps
activity: addressing political issues of Ukraine’s development to clarify them, and reporting people’s deputies’ real deeds. It is clear that manufacturing process predominant on the newspaper
pages. Most of the articles deal with multi-sided life of the Motor Sich team.

for Parents; Creation; Life Stories; Practical Tips; Orchard and Vegetable Garden; Questions and Answers; Interesting
Facts, and others.Motor Sich JSC is famous for its sport achievements. So it is unusual to see the newspaper issued
without sport news. The Motor Sich newspaper has its supplement titled Mo-
torchik (small motor) that is an excellent training ground that provides immense opportunities for young journalists. Young Motorchik reporters have beaten their opponents
in numerous journalistic contests, and some of them have become career journalists. Students of Journalistic department
of Zaporozhye National University do their practical training on the newspaper
basis. Now, the newspaper is 78. Currently,
it is published on eight broadsides twice a week, with its circulation being almost 4000 copies. Keeping traditions of their predecessors, the contributors to a newspaper do their best to keep it among the best editions in the city of Zaporozhye.
