Novaya Gazeta, one of Russia's best-known independent newspapers, has announced that it is closing, The Guardian reports. The paper said growing pressure from the authorities meant it could no longer keep working, according to The Moscow Times.[1][2]
The newspaper had been running for more than 30 years, The Moscow Times says. France 24 reports that officials recently searched the home of its senior editor, and that one of its journalists was detained earlier this year.[2][3]
The paper's former editor once won the Nobel peace prize, The Guardian notes. Meduza says the staff were also being moved out of their office in central Moscow, where they had worked for many years.[1][5]
The Straits Times says the paper described a long push by officials, with state prosecutors going after some of its senior journalists and the paper left without financial support. The outlets below have the full story.[4]
