Honey Badger Radio: Censorship - Video

The office of the Meduza Project brims with light and open space, a metaphor for the freedom that the dozen journalists who left Russia to avoid censorship feel in their newfound home.

The white-washed interior walls of a 200-year-old former grain warehouse where the reporters work are cut with faceted windows overlooking the Daugava River and the sun-splashed plains east of Riga. Ochre and pink bricks forming the building's arched windows and pitched, crenelated roofline evoke the architecture of the Hanseatic League that in the late Middle Ages united Northern European ports from Rotterdam to Tallinn in a trade and defense confederation.

Inside, the 11 a.m. news meeting is running overtime as the journalists ponder how best to present the latest actions of Russian state media censors in outlawing reports on the motives behind suicide.

The edict is intended to prevent a Meduza Project report from spreading to publications in Russia: It says that at least 12 cancer sufferers in Moscow took their lives in February because government-run hospitals denied them pain management medications.

"We were looking into why the government has gotten involved in determining who gets pain medications and who doesn't," said Konstantin Benyumov, editor of Meduza's English-language edition.

Eventually, the meeting adjourns and reporters disperse to their laptops on sleek blond-wood desks atop wrought-iron sawhorses. Some dash downstairs first to the wind-swept courtyard for a smoke or the daily call home to family in Moscow.

Meduza's reporters and editors are an outgrowth of the late Lenta.ru investigative news organization that, like most independent media in Russia, has been subverted by politically motivated firings and stifled by government edicts criminalizing reporting on embarrassing issues.

Like its namesake mythological Greek monster whose severed head retained the power to turn into stone all who gazed into her eyes, the Meduza Project's self-exiled Russian staff lives on, bedeviling Kremlin efforts to control and manipulate information.

A year ago, Lenta editor Galina Timchenko was fired, reportedly for publishing an interview with a member of the Ukrainian nationalist militia Right Sector.

"It was just the pretext for her firing, as it wasn't banned at that time," Benyumov said of the Ukrainian paramilitary now battling pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine.

BEIJING Memo to U.S. media executives: If you do a photo op in the headquarters of Chinas state-run Xinhua news agency, be prepared for some surprises.

Gary Pruitt, CEO and president of the Associated Press, learned that this week following a March 27 meeting with his counterpart, Xinhua President Cai Mingzhao.

During his visit, Pruitt shook hands, posed for photos and toured Xinhuas social media operations center. On Monday, Xinhua published a story saying the worlds two leading news agencies . . . have agreed to strengthen cooperation in social media.

Xinhuas story triggered a buzz in media circles. Some netizens were aghast that AP might use its social media platforms to promote content from a government propaganda organ.

The only problem? The story wasnt true, at least according to AP.

There is no social media sharing arrangement planned between AP and Xinhua, said Paul Colford, the Associated Press media relations director, in a statement late Wednesday.

Colford didnt respond when asked if AP would be seeking a correction from Xinhua. He characterized the Beijing visit as part of a routine exchange between the two news agencies. AP executives, he said, told Xinhua leaders that if they visited our headquarters in New York we would be happy to give a similar tour.

How and why Xinhua announced a deal that wasnt a deal isnt entirely clear. Attempts to interview Xinhuas Cai Mingzhao were unsuccessful Thursday. McClatchy was also unable to interview Pruitt, who previously had served as CEO of McClatchy.

The Associated Press, a not-for-profit news agency owned by U.S. newspapers and broadcasters, has been steadily growing its business in China. In 2012, AP signed its first commercial contract with Xinhua, allowing the Chinese news agency to sell AP photos in China, so it wasnt unfathomable that new deals might be in the works.

Even so, some media observers in Asia were immediately suspicious of Xinhuas report, given the Chinese news agencys record of hyping its global stature and distorting other information.
