Not so long
ago my friend (which is a really great culture columnist and a professional critic)
and I had a quick chat about how most of the Russian journalism is going fully
digital. I am not talking about the obvious iOS or Android versions and subscriptions
everyone rambled about years ago. I am talking about how most of the Russian
quality content went online while printed media is becoming extinct. The
printed content is rarely as good and interesting as it used to be, many famous
publishing houses have the restructuration of their staff or concept. Many good
old-school journalists are leaving their places because digital media are more
open to creativity and professionalism (which may seem as a paradox). In the
end, even the hugest printed colossuses are, unfortunately, not as insightful as
they used to be. What is left are the glossies which concept is to provide us
with great art-like photography but (alas, once again) not the deep or at least
somewhat meaningful materials. “Who needs anything insightful in a Cosmo” you’d
say? And that’s where I’d disagree with you as the foreign female press is way
more serious as ours. It has a lot to offer about female empowerment, education
and even politics.
