Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to Canada. Shevchenko was born in the town of Hvizdets, near Kolomyia, in Ukraine (at that time - the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union), and spent his young years in Fastiv, near Kiev. ==Journalism== Shevchenko has worked as a multi-media journalist since 1994 for the 1+1 TV Channel, Novyi Kanal, Radio Voice of America and others. Under the administration of President Kuchma, Shevchenko was one of the leaders of the journalists’ movement against censorship. In 2002 he left Novyi Kanal under political pressure. Later in 2002 he established Kyiv Independent Media Union and was elected its first chairman. In 2003 Shevchenko introduced his idea of creating the Channel of Honest News (Канал чесних новин). The 5th Channel, a 24-hours-day news channel, was the only network not controlled by the government. It eventually played a key role during the Orange Revolution of 2004. Shevchenko was the editor-in-chief of the channel and a news presenter. In 2005, after the Orange Revolution, Shevchenko was appointed vice-president of the National Television Company of Ukraine, but left his position in six months after the government refused to transform the state broadcaster into a public broadcasting system. He is now president of the Center for Public Media, an NGO promoting public broadcasting in Ukraine. In 2005 Shevchenko received ''The Press Freedom Award'' from Reporters Without Borders (Austria, 2005). He also received a number of Ukrainian journalistic awards, including ''The Best News Presenter'', ''The Best News Program'', ''The Best Documentary'' (‘Teletriumph’, 2005). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andriy Shevchenko (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
