The Moscow-based Novaya Gazeta newspaper announced it will suspend its operations starting Monday after receiving the second notice in a row from a Russian media watchdog.
“We received another warning from Roskomnadzor. After that, we are suspending the publication of the newspaper on the website, in [social] networks and in print – until the end of the ‘special operation on the territory of Ukraine’,” the outlet said in a brief statement.
The outlet received the second warning from the media regulator in a week earlier on Monday. The notice came after the newspaper mentioned an unspecified “foreign agent” entity without proper marking in one of its articles, TASS reported. The first warning was lodged by Roskomnadzor last Tuesday over a similar issue related to coverage by “foreign agents.”
The newspaper’s team will spend the time off searching for new formats and exploring “new genres,” Novaya Gazeta’s editor-in-chief, 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner Dmitry Muratov has said.
