The Honored Journalist (also translated as The Merited Journalist of Ukraine, {{langx|uk|Заслужений журналіст України|Zasluzhenyi zhurnalist Ukrainy}}) is an honorary title bestowed by Ukraine (before 1991 by the Ukrainian SSR) for "vital contribution" in the country's journalism. The title is awarded by the President of Ukraine and accompanied by a {{convert|35|x|45|mm|in|abbr=on|adj=on}} silver badge.
History
The honorary title was established by the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian SSR on May 7, 1981.{{sfn|Decree 1870-X|1981|loc=Article 7}} By that time, four republics of the former USSR (the Estonian SSR, the Lithuanian SSR, the Georgian SSR, and the Armenian SSR) had already established such an award,{{sfn|Zhaleiko|1972}} whereas the Russian SSR hadn't done so until the dissolution of the Soviet Union.{{sfn|Stolbetsov|2018}} From its inception in 1981, the title required a recipient to have worked in the field of journalism for at least ten years.{{sfn|Decree 1870-X|1981|loc=Article 8}} Originally, a recipient also had to be a member of the "Union of Journalists" of the Ukrainian SSR.{{sfn|Decree 1870-X|1981|loc=Article 10}}
After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, Merited Journalist of Ukraine was one of 29 honorary titles that newly independent Ukraine inherited from the Ukrainian SSR.{{sfn|Buzalo|2011|p=472}} Since July 1994, the recipients of the title also receive a silver badge. The first design of the badge, awarded from July 1994 to June 2001, was a {{convert|26|x|28|mm|in|adj=on|abbr=on}} image of a woman's head, wearing a wreath composed of ears of wheat. In June 2001, the silver badge was redesigned to its present form and enlarged to {{convert|30|x|40|mm|in|abbr=on}}; in 2007, the badge was further enlarged to its present size.{{sfn|Buzalo|2011|p=473}}
Prerequisites and procedure
As of 2020, the honorary title is awarded in accordance with the Law of Ukraine Regarding the State Awards of Ukraine{{sfn|Law 1549-III|2017|loc=Articles 4,5,10}} and the Decree of the President of Ukraine Regarding Honorary Titles of Ukraine.{{sfn|Decree 476/2001|2016|loc=Article 8}} Recipients of the title must have at least ten years' experience in journalism{{sfn|Law 1549-III|2017|loc=Article 10}} and have a college degree.{{sfn|Decree 476/2001|2016|loc=Article 16}} The decoration is awarded by the President of Ukraine for a candidate's "vital contribution" to Ukraine journalism.{{sfn|Decree 476/2001|2016|loc=Article 9}} The award is accompanied by a {{convert|34|x|45|mm|in|adj=on|abbr=on}} silver badge.{{sfn|Buzalo|2011|p=473}}

Then the lists are sanctioned by municipal and regional governments and/or various bodies of the executive or judicial branches. For non-Ukrainian citizens seeking the award, submissions come from the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.{{sfn|Buzalo|2011|p=473}}
