World Russian Press Congress to discuss problems of extremism
Moscow, June 13 (Itar-Tass) -- Participants of the 10th World Congress of Russian Press will discuss the most pressing problems from extremism and xenophobia on Friday.
Three themed meetings will begin the final day of the Congress. The meetings will focus on the theme "Russian press: problems of extremism, fascism and xenophobia." Meanwhile, the congress participants will share views on the current state of the mass media and will decide whether the Russian-language press abroad is a mission or business.
The congress partakers still support the opinion that Russian editions
have not always a high quality and they should raise their general level.
On the whole, the Russian press is giving way to tabloids out of
commercial considerations, a representative of the Estonian media Nikolai
Meinert said. In his view, the general level is falling and Russian press
should raise it focusing on the quality of newspapers and magazines.
For his part, the editor-in-chief of the only Russian-language
newspaper in Turkey "Tur Press Panorama" Yuri Panchenko believes that
"Russian-language editions abroad are writing about Russia in a more
qualitative and positive way than editions published in Russia and sold in
other countries." "Now dozens of Russian newspapers are sold in Turkey, and their level leaves much to be desired," he added.
The editor-in-chief of the Slovak magazine "Vmeste", Galina Chizhova, shares Panchenko's opinion. "The Russian language and Russian culture are developing in Slovakia, but from Russia we receive newspapers that look like tabloids," she said.
Two roundtable meetings are also scheduled at the World Congress of Russian Press on Friday. The Interstate Fund for Humanitarian Cooperation of the CIS states will participate in one of the roundtable meetings, which will be devoted to the current state of the mass media in the former Soviet republics.
The second roundtable meeting that will be held jointly
with the Russkiy Mir Foundation will dwell on how the Russian-language
foreign press is writing about Russia.
The World Congress of Russian Press opened on Wednesday with a speech
delivered by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The president expressed
confidence that the Congress will make "a real contribution in the
unification of the Russian-language media community." The fact that
participants and guests from 70 countries arrived for this authoritative
forum testifies about this tendency in the Russian-language media
community, Medvedev pointed out.
