| Abstract |
Russia Today (now renamed just RT) was launched in 2005 to bring a Russian-centric perspective on current political events to a global audience. After a decade of generous Kremlin funding, 2015 found the 24-hour news channel the biggest media organization on YouTube with 2 billion viewers: more than CNN and the BBC combined. The network claims only to offer an alternative perspective to the monolithic view presented by mainstream Western media, however, the documentary recounts the growing pressures at censorship for English and American employees of RT covering those and other events. Two of those interviewed finally quit their jobs, afraid that they had perhaps already compromised their journalistic integrity, while another continued to insist on the legitimacy of the RT enterprise. |
