“…Previous studies have shown that state-subsidized regional publications might use their social media accounts to deviate from the “party line” (e.g., Erzikova & Lowrey, 2020). Social media can encourage a more “fluid and dynamic” media ecology, providing not just alternative platforms for reporting, but opportunities for deviant messaging within online spaces provided for audience communication.…”

“…Journalists have become strongly dependent on honoraria (Erzikova & Lowrey, 2020). In the face of political-economic difficulties, Russian provincial news outlets have had to rely increasingly on government support, in the forms of both direct budgetary subsidies and information contracts that allow news outlets to cover activities of government officials (Erzikova & Lowrey, 2020). Consequently, the regional government largely sets the local news agenda (Dovbysh & Mukhametov, 2020).…”

“…This behavior is consistent with Russian citizens’ historical tendencies to adapt, shelter, and survive rather than openly rebel in the face of hardship and oppression (Gudkov et al, 2009). From an ecological perspective, “continuing to survive is ultimately more consequential than securing clear boundaries in the face of dominant force [such as the government], and there are many ways [journalists] may adapt, gain footholds and carry on” (Erzikova & Lowrey, 2020, p. 53).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the role news organizations play in disseminating information and shaping public response to the crisis. This study adopts an ecological approach in examining Russian regional journalists’ adaptations to the pandemic. Based on in-depth interviews, the study found that a worsened economic situation has increased dependence on state subsidies. Journalists avoided questioning authorities’ response to COVID, with some publishing government information and others focusing on practical tips for readers.

“…In addition, local media professionals still possess a comparatively weak understanding and expertise in the area of digital media, and they demonstrate a little interest in further informing themselves (Erzikova & Lowrey, 2017). Online media are concentrated in regional capitals while, in smaller settlements, journalists and editors still rely mainly on traditional distribution channels.…”

The study focuses upon “city public groups” (“gorodskie pabliki,” local newsgroups on social networking sites)—the new entrants in the local media space of the Russian province that have recently become important actors of regional public communication. Such groups combine news posting and citizen discussions, report on local affairs and gossip, and entertain. Some groups are based on user-generated content; others create their own content or act as aggregators. Being non-registered and grassroots initiatives, these media enjoy higher freedom in comparison to official local newsrooms. Given the popularity of city public groups among local citizens and local authorities’ interest toward them, owners and moderators of these media are playing an influential role for local mediated discourse. Based on the gatekeeping theory and its extensions for digital space, this article explores the emerging roles of these new gatekeepers in the local communities. Based upon 28 in-depth interviews collected by the author in Russian towns in 2017–2018, the article also analyses the professional norms and values of the owners and moderators of local city groups that they employ to perform their gatekeeping function.

“…In Greece, online journalism encourages higher inter-media competition, while also becoming a way to avoid the tight political and economic control of media owners (Touri, Theodosiadou, & Kostarella, 2017). In Russia, online journalism has not been fully accepted by various media; each media runs their online journalism differently depending on their managerial policy, organizational culture, external factors, and culture of Russian people (Erzikova & Lowrey, 2017). In the UK, the expansion of online journalism into a live blogging format within a social media framework for reporting "crisis, politics, and sports", has given a certain nuance to the format and genre of the news (Thorsen & Jackson, 2018).…”
