These publications must be registered and need to have the certificate of registration of mass media. In Ukraine there is no discrimination for print media on the basis of language. That’s why the media are published in Ukrainian and foreign languages.

Print media is divided into the following types:
newspapers, magazines, newsletters, collections, calendars, almanacs, digests.
