The highlight of the meeting was the bulletproof vest and military helmet, which the journalists brought with them in order to show the degree of protection of media workers. There were many willing to wear these attributes.

At the end of the event, the media person presented newspapers, books on journalism and a power bank. Letters of thanks were also handed over to the rectors of Poltava and Luhansk universities – Oleksii Nestula and Olena Karaman; Certificates of honor were presented to teachers and students, namely: Olga Kutsevska and Oksana Korchaginia – Candidates of Sciences in Social Communications, Associate Professors of the Department of Journalism and Publishing; Angela Onishchenko and Nataliia Kiiashko – students majoring in 061 Journalism.
