Washington, Nov 11:
CNN has said that it is suspending broadcasting in Russia in light of recent changes in Russian media legislation, which aim to tighten the control on independent news media.
A statement from CNN International parent Turner International, which is part of the Time Warner conglomerate, offered no specific timetable, but the Tass news agency reported earlier that broadcasts would cease as of December 31.
Turner International is assessing its distribution options for CNN in Russia in light of recent changes in Russian media legislation, the Turner statement had said yesterday.
We are bringing our existing distribution relationships to an end while we do that. We hope to re-enter the market in due course, and will notify our partners of any update about resuming these services.
The statement noted that the CNN Moscow bureau operation, which covers Russia for the cable news operation, was unaffected.
Ukraine crisis
The move comes with Russian President Vladimir Putin increasingly at odds with independent news media, especially over coverage of the Ukraine crisis.
A new law limits foreign ownership of media to 20 per cent, threatening some of the countrys most respected independent media outlets.
The largest media organisations in Russia are owned by the state or controlled by Putin associates.

Published November 10, 2014
MOSCOW The Kremlin-funded Russia Today media group has launched an international news service that it claims will fight the "propaganda" of other news media.
The service started Monday, called Sputnik, will have bureaus in more than 30 countries and send its news to local audiences by radio stations, websites and social media.
The launch underlines Russia's consistent complaints that world news media are biased against the country. In a major speech last month, President Vladimir Putin bemoaned what he called "total control of global media (that) has made it possible to when desired to portray white as black."
Russia Today chief Dmitry Kiselyov says "we are against aggressive propaganda ... this can only result in bloodshed."
Russia Today also includes the RIA-Novosti news agency and the satellite TV channel RT.
