"Reporter" was founded in 2001 as a regional weekly print newspaper in Ivano-Frankivsk, Western Ukraine. In 2007, the media outlet launched its website (report.if.ua), developing both print and digital platforms simultaneously to reach a wider audience.
Over the years, it established itself as a leading and trusted source of local news, investigative journalism, and community-focused reporting in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The final print issue of the weekly newspaper was published on February 24, 2022. Due to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, print operations were suspended, and "Reporter" successfully pivoted to become a fully digital news platform. Throughout its history, the outlet has maintained strict editorial independence, high ethical standards, and a deep connection with its community.
