Deputy Director General of Rossiya Segodnya: Western media show their weakness
The blocking of the RIA Novosti Telegram channel in a number of EU countries shows that the Russian media scene has proved stronger than the Western one, Alexander Yakovenko, deputy director general of the Rossiya Segodnya media group, told Sputnik.
"The basis of any country's immunity is the fabric of public statements by officials and experts on events in the world and at home. The Russian information fabric has proved to be stronger, as it contains answers to questions of interest to society," Yakovenko stressed.
He also noted that the West will soon have to deal with the whole world's majority media.
"Today [the media of the world majority countries] are more open to different points of view than in the West. It is in this area that a clash of meanings is taking place, and the projection of these meanings partly shapes public opinion and the policies of states. That is why the world majority countries did not support Western anti-Russian sanctions," Yakovenko concluded.
