What happens behind the scenes of the marathon "United News"? How is the news air formed? What is the editor's daily work like? As part of the special project "People who create the news," the TSN chief editor Vasyl Kostyak, in an frank interview with the channel's site 1+1, shared details of the editors' backstage at the "Unified News" desk.

My task is to shape the structure of the release, which news deserves, say, the very first place, and how it will be presented. All of this happens behind the scenes: when viewers see the host and the ready result of the team's work," Vasyl says.
Editors work under the conditions of a dynamic news stream, but Vasyl notes that the main rule is not to do harm, because even one short report can have negative consequences. Speed is the guiding rule of the newsroom, yet it remains important to handle sensitive information with caution.
