[Commlist] New book: Kremlin Media Wars: Censorship and Control Since the Invasion of Ukraine

OUT NOW - */Kremlin Media Wars: Censorship and Control Since the 
Invasion of Ukraine/*
Co-editors: Wendy Sloane and Aleksandra Raspopina

This unique volume, published on 18th February by Routledge, brings 
together academics of Russian journalism and media with journalists and 
editors who reported or continue to report on the country, to explore 
and reflect on the changing landscape for journalists covering Russia, 
and the increasing control exerted by the government on independent 
journalists. It came out of a conference on Russian censorship held at 
London Met in April, 2023.

Combining rigorous academic research with reflective practitioner 
essays, the volume investigates the future of reporting in Russia and 
the implications for the future of the country. It offers an 
understanding of the experience of independent journalists and media 
outlets in Russia, as well as other individuals who experience 
censorship (academics, activists), and examines how the current 
situation in Russia and people’s experiences of censorship can inform 
both our theoretical understandings of censorship and information 
control, in the context of the twenty‑first‑century digital technologies 
and the policymaking both inside and outside of Russia.

Journalism Course Leader at London Metropolitan University and is
