Choose current news or the archive deliberately
Suspilne’s news site separates regional reporting, video, text and the linked archive. Use the news programme or live destination for current viewing. Use Mediateka when the task is a historical recording, documentary or archive object.
A newly promoted archive item can date from 1961,1980 or another earlier period. Preserve the original recording date separately from the date you discovered it. A current homepage does not make every visible programme new, and a short historical clip should not be described as a complete current edition.
Keep region and programme identity
The official news site offers individual regional filters and named interview or discussion formats. Retain the region, programme family, guest and edition date as appropriate. A story about a region does not by itself prove a separate continuous live feed or a distinct national bulletin.
For a full interview, recover the actual programme object rather than a short report quoting it. For a past parliamentary or public event, compare the archive item’s stated scope; a short excerpt and a complete session can have very different duration and context.
Do not turn English metadata into translated audio
Mediateka’s English navigation and translated item descriptions help discovery. They do not establish English narration or captions on every recording. Inspect the actual item and preserve the original Ukrainian title where supplied.
For a recording containing multiple speakers or historical footage, retain the soundtrack and any supplied translation as separate facts. A written catalogue summary is not necessarily a transcript. Test the actual accessible version required by the household before arranging shared viewing around an archive work.
Keep event time, recording date and current notices separate
For a verified live appointment, use the schedule’s stated reference, the actual date and the relevant Ukrainian city zone, such as Europe/Kyiv where appropriate, before converting to the Canadian city. Historical recordings require their own dated context.
An old news or public-information item is not today’s notice merely because it plays. The sources verify publishing structure and archive metadata, not Canadian playback, an exhaustive archive or third-party IPTV rights. Save the dated item and preserve any current access restriction or missing-recording gap.
