"[[Alyona Anatolievna Gromnitskaya|Olena Hromnytska]] is trying to implement corruption schemes for publishing paid articles ... and also to introduce censorship in the newspaper" the journalists' statement read.

She also mandated favorable coverage of certain politicians and public figures, the journalists say.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kyivpost.com/article/content/business/trouble-brews-at-akhmetovs-segodnya-daily-119059.html|title=Trouble brews at Akhmetov's Segodnya daily - Dec. 15, 2011|date=December 15, 2011|website=KyivPost}}</ref> The newspaper was even accused of publishing forged documents.<ref>[http://kiev.pravda.com.ua/columns/4f30f530ba8c8/ "Who forged the signatures on a letter to the president from the residents of Honchar Street"?
