I watched an interview today with the editor of the now shut down independent Russian newspaper Novaja Gazeta and there were six photos of their assassinated journalists on the office wall. Can't imagine what that feels like.

To know you and your colleagues are being hunted for reporting what you see and hear.

Just realized the interview had subtitles, so if anyone wants to watch it - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8CW-WAJq0ts

This was when they already knew the paper's days were numbered, the editor talks with such heavy heart in some places, it was a bit hard to listen. She also had an interview with the editor of the also shut down radio station, but it had weird vibes - the guy is good friends with pro-war media people and tries to convince them...

Novaya Gazeta is not shut down (they are the only one left). They are forbidden from reporting on war, even writing the word, so their reporting is very subtle, but in the result even more powerful.

Oooh, really? Why did I think it went away along with Dozhdj and Eho Moskvi. That's good to hear.

Yeah, they are still active, and they are also handing over the Nobel medal to a foundation supporting Ukrainian refugees to auction it and use the money.
