Host: Cansu Çamlıbel | Guest: Elizaveta Osetinskaya
In the 28th episode of the IPI Freedom Dialogues podcast, journalist Cansu Çamlıbel and her guest Elizaveta Osetinskaya, Russian media entrepreneur and founder of news outlet The Bell who is currently working from Turkey, discussed the Russian government’s crackdown on media freedom, the challenges and responsibilities of exiled Russian journalists, and lessons for journalists working under increasingly autocratic conditions.
Osetinskaya emphasized that exiled journalists and intellectuals tend to live in a bubble that precludes communication with their audience. “Rather than focusing on our own understanding of the situation, we need to think about the needs and circumstances of our audience [at home] and to find the proper language to address this audience”, Osetinskaya said.
Topics covered in the podcast include:
- The Russian government’s crackdown on freedom of expression and of the press
- The “foreign agent” law and (un)sustainability of journalism in Russia
- Journalistic work and dissent after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine
- Challenges and responsibilities of exiled journalists
- Lessons to be learned for journalists in regions with autocratic governments
