Medvedev reads the real news online
On Friday, Russia’s First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev affirmed the importance of freedom of information on the internet. Medevedev told journalists that he goes online at the start and end of everyday. He commented that he reads the online news to keep up with what’s really going on.
Although televised, print and radio news is manipulated by the Russian state and politically-aspiring oligarchs, Russian online media presents a fuller view of public opinion and reaction. Like many others, Medevedev relies on the internet to keep updated on the issues and views.

“There is a need for the same passion for truth and authentic opinion in Romania,” says Lavinia Cosac, a student in Bucharest. “Real opinion can only come from real people. Television, radio and newspapers present one-sided stories that fit with the views and interests of their self-absorbed owners and advertisers.”
