Kremlin Media Wars (eBook, ePUB)

Censorship and Control Since the Invasion of Ukraine
Redaktion: Sloane, Wendy; Raspopina, Aleksandra

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This unique volume brings together academics of Russian journalism and media with journalists and editors who reported or continue to report on the country, to explore and reflect on the changing landscape for journalists in Russia or covering Russia, and the increasing control exerted by the government on independent journalists.

Combining rigorous academic research with reflective practitioner essays, the volume investigates the future of reporting in Russia and the implications for the future of the country. It offers an understanding of the experience of independent journalists and media outlets in Russia, as well as other individuals who experience censorship (academics, activists), and examines how the current situation in Russia and people's experiences of censorship can inform both our theoretical understandings of censorship and information control, in the context of the twenty-first-century digital technologies and the policymaking both inside and outside of Russia.

Offering important insight into what is happening within Russia's borders, this volume will appeal to researchers and students of journalism, political science, international relations, propaganda and censorship, mass media, as well as journalists and policymakers.

Chapter 4 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
