GAP FILL:
Russia to start 24-hour TV news in English
BNE: Russia will soon start its own 24-hour English language TV news channel. Its name is Russia
Today and it will be similar to CNN. The new channel will broadcast up-to-the-minute news of
world and Russian affairs. Everything will be from a Russian viewpoint.
Russia Today will initially be broadcast in Russia, Europe, the USA and some C.I.S. and Asian
countries. It is due to screen from as early as late summer. The launch may coincide with
President Vladimir Putin s speech to the U.N. in September.
Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia Today, said it was time to challenge CNN and the
BBC. She said Russia Today will offer an alternative to the U.S.-British stranglehold on English-
speaking world news coverage. She also said it would make interesting viewing.
The channel is an arm of Russia s tightly controlled state media. Many people have expressed
doubts over how much independence journalists will have. Others fear the Kremlin will inject
propaganda into the news stories. Many doubt whether non-Russians will want to watch Russian
news in English.
