More than 150 Russian journalists have left the country since a new 'false information' law was passed at the beginning of March. Last week, one of Russia's last remaining independent news outlets stopped operating.
Russian journalist fined for protesting Ukraine war on state TVMarina Ovsyannikova, a journalist with Russia’s Channel One state television, was fined and released from police custody after storming a live news program with a sign that read ‘no war’ and told people to ‘not believe the propaganda.’People are forbidden from using the word "war" or "invasion" to describe what is happening in Ukraine.
Novaya Gazeta blurred out the word "war" in English and in Russian, from a sign a producer held while interrupting a broadcast on Russian state television. Even before they received the latest warning from the media regulator, the paper was having to do journalism with "too many caveats," Prusenkova said.
Ukrainian emergency employees and volunteers carry an injured pregnant woman from the maternity hospital in Mariupol that was damaged in an airstrike on March 9. The woman and her baby later died.Novaya Gazeta was launched in 1993 with the help of former president Mikhail Gorbachev, who used part of the money he got when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
