The New York Times reports the bad news about "good news" mandate in Russia. Half of what is reported must be positive. Russia is becoming one of countries that does not respect press freedom. Here's how the story begins:
''At their first meeting with journalists since taking over Russia's largest independent radio news network, the managers had startling news of their own: from now on, they said, at least 50 percent of the reports about Russia must be ''positive.''
''In addition, opposition leaders could not be mentioned on the air and the United States was to be portrayed as an enemy, journalists employed by the network, Russian News Service, say they were told by the new managers, who are allies of the Kremlin.
''How would they know what constituted positive news?
'' 'When we talk of death, violence or poverty, for example, this is not positive,'' said one editor at the station who did not want to be identified for fear of retribution. ''If the stock market is up, that is positive. The weather can also be positive.' '' Log in free to the NYT for the entire story.
