Abstract

Reporting from inside Russia has never looked so bleak. Most independent Russian media outlets have been either shut down or partially blocked, with many Western – and Russian – correspondents who were based in the country relocated elsewhere. New censorship laws are making accurate, on-the-ground reporting close to impossible, with journalists barred from calling out the true nature of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, including referring to it as a “war”. Now, the censorship is starting to spill over to parts of occupied Ukraine, with many viewers having access only to Russian state-controlled media, according to the BBC. How can we know what is going on?
