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

What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the story as Novaya Gazeta closing under Kremlin pressure, with The Economist, France 24 and South China Morning Post all using shutdown language and Al Jazeera saying staff accused the government of “killing it off.” The Economist uniquely foregrounds a state enemies list, while France 24 and South China Morning Post emphasize the paper’s independent or flagship status and its investigative record. Al Jazeera is the only one to mention murders and arrests in the framing it gives.
