Russia’s top independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta ‘killed’ by Kremlin pressure

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame Novaya Gazeta as a central remaining space for independent or free journalism in Russia and present the closure as tied to Kremlin pressure. The Economist headlines the shutdown more starkly as the Kremlin “shutting down Russia’s last free newspaper” and uniquely mentions a state enemies list. France 24 similarly emphasizes pressure from authorities and, in its extract, is the only one to mention the search of a senior editor’s home and the detention of one of its journalists.
