| description | This chapter explores the reactions of Russian independent journalists and editors to censorship efforts in Russia in the year following the invasion of Ukraine. It examines editorials published by six independent online media outlets on their websites and social media. This chapter finds that journalists use editorials as spaces to provide practical information to their audiences, to explain editorial decisions, to discuss the laws restricting coverage of the war as military censorship, and to emphasize the professional norms and values of journalism. In addition, editorials become spaces to fundraise, express anti-war sentiments and solidarity with colleagues, and emphasize the importance of independent journalism. |
