In Tatarstan, unprecedented awards from the fund for supporting independent regional media went mainly to representatives of Tatmedia

Yesterday's summing up of the results of the journalistic competition of the Truth and Justice Foundation, established by the All-Russian Popular Front, turned into a scandal. An unprecedented amount of 90 million rubles was spent on awards for journalists who covered “corruption, arrogance and wastefulness of officials.” One of the three hundred winners refused the prize, another promised to spend it on charity. In Tatarstan, four out of five winners work in state publications.

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE: ONF WILL SUPPORT THE INDEPENDENT PRESS IN THE FACE OF STATE PUBLICATIONS

Today, the results of the competition of journalistic works were commented on by BUSINESS Online at the Truth and Justice fund for supporting independent regional and local media. The fund was established by the All-Russian Popular Front. On Monday, the first deputy head of the ONF executive committee Dmitry Minenko announced the results of the competition - they were published on the foundation’s website.

In Tatarstan, five journalists became winners. Despite the fact that the goals of the fund are stated as “supporting independent regional and local media, as well as strengthening the role of independent regional and local media in improving the quality of life of citizens,” the awards were received mainly by journalists from state media. The winners included Vladimir Matylitsky(magazine "Tatarstan"), Irina Khalitova, Farida Yakusheva(newspaper “Republic of Tatarstan”), Nikolay Artyushkin(Karl Fuchs magazine) and Ilnur Yarkhamov(KazanFirst.ru). Four of the five winners represent publications that are part of the Tatmedia state holding. The exception is KazanFirst, which controls Yaroslav Muravyov. But it should be noted that his arrival in the media business coincided with receiving generous funding for information services from the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Tatarstan.

The fund itself, in response to a request from BUSINESS Online, explained that only journalists themselves had the right to take part in the competition - editorial offices were not allowed. The fund began accepting work on September 22 last year from journalists covering the implementation of the “May decrees” of the leader of the ONF Vladimir Putin and anti-corruption policy.

“In November 2014, the public council of the foundation decided to admit to the competition works of journalists whose works are published in media that cannot be called independent from the authorities,” said the chairman of the public council of the Truth and Justice foundation. Dmitry Minenko. “But these works must correspond to the competition theme, and therefore reflect a particular problem of the region, city, or settlement.”

At the same time, Minchenko was surprised at the small number of works received from Tatarstan. Participation in the competition could only be on the initiative of the journalists themselves, who submit their work for professional evaluation by their colleagues.

“Yes, we are a little surprised by the inactivity of Tatarstan journalists,” he added. “Because the media sector of the republic is very developed and the region has something to be proud of in the area of ​​solving problems.”

TWO REFUSED 300 THOUSAND

The foundation's first journalistic competition received about 1.5 thousand applications from almost all regions of the country. The competition commission selected 500 works, and then the public council selected 279 winners. In addition, the public council of the foundation allocated a separate nomination “For helping to increase trust in the media” and awarded 21 journalists from federal publications and television channels who did not submit applications. In total, 300 people were awarded in this way - each of them will be paid 300 thousand rubles. The award fund amounted to 90 million rubles.

A 300 thousand award (and in September the amount was slightly less than $10 thousand) is an extremely rare phenomenon in journalism. For example, government awards in the field of media are 1 million rubles, but they are awarded to only 10 journalists. Here they spent 9 times more - and in fact on PR support for the “May decrees” and the fight against “official arrogance” in the form of opposition to government procurement of something luxurious.

Against this background, the widely publicized struggle of the same “Popular Front” against the spending of regional authorities on financing the media, which the ONF positions like “PR budgets.” The ONF compiled the next rating of such expenses in February, in which Tatarstan took 5th place with expenses of 1 billion 152.5 million rubles.

Perhaps this cognitive dissonance led to rare demonstrative refusals to receive bonuses. For example, a Vedomosti journalist refused money Suzanna Farizova, explaining this by the publication’s policy. As Lenta.ru writes, a journalist from the Yekaterinburg publication Znak.com Ekaterina Vinokurova, also included in the list of winners, announced on Facebook that the money received would be donated to charity. “For me personally nothing will change. I will continue to communicate with sources and criticize the authorities,” Vinokurova noted.

Commenting on the decision of Farizova and Vinokurova, Minchenko noted that the work of a journalist is public by definition. “She is appreciated by both readers and colleagues. How to manage the fund's premium is a personal matter for everyone. As well as the attitude towards the assessment of one’s work by fellow writers,” he noted.

“THOSE WHO NEED IT WERE IN THE KNOW”

BUSINESS Online correspondents congratulated their colleagues and asked how they managed to take part in the competition.

Vladimir Matylitsky - journalist in the publication “Tatarstan”:

I had no idea about the competition. It wasn’t me who submitted the application; we have a person in our editorial office who monitors competitions. I only found out about this a week ago when I reached the finals. For me, winning is a big surprise. As far as I know, the selection was based on one article - for me it was an article about housing and communal services called “Leaping for tariffs.” Its essence lies in the eternal struggle between the state and the citizen: we install meters, start consuming wisely, the volume of consumed services falls, and accordingly, monopolists raise prices. As for independent publications, I think it was the article that was evaluated; it was written, let’s say, not from an official position. Apparently, the assessment had in mind the very principle of independent journalism.

I'm still not sure that what they are talking about is reality. For example, I would not be surprised if I come to the St. Petersburg forum (by the way, if they are invited to it at all, because so far I have not received any letter), and there they will choose winners who will be given a decent bonus. For the rest, well, a handshake, for example. It seems to me that this will be the case.

Ilnur Yarkhamov - KazanFirst journalist:

Since I am a journalist and communicate with representatives of the Popular Front, my acquaintances sent me information about this competition. I submitted texts to the competition on the topic of interethnic relations. In particular, I wrote material about how it is impossible to compare the number of mosques and churches in Tatarstan. Representatives of the Russian culture society raised a discussion about the fact that there are fewer churches in the republic. I did not agree with them, at least, the Alexander Nevsky Church was being built near my house in Azino, and I saw that no one was stopping it. It is not clear why Mikhail Shcheglov ( head of the Russian culture society - approx. auto.) decided that this was not so. Plus, I had other texts - from the court hearings in the Hizb ut-Tahrir case. I try to note such things, it’s interesting to me because I’m a historian by education. I don’t know yet how I’m going to use the cash bonus. This is the first time I hear from you exactly what prize the laureates will receive.

Artem Naumov - Executive Director of TRO "OPORA Rossii":

As far as I understand the theme of the competition, we are talking specifically about works covering the activities of the ONF, and not just independent media. Since no one here except the state media covers the work of the All-Russian Popular Front, you can feel the proportion. Apparently, they chose from those who write about it.

How could journalists find out about the competition? When they say that “we didn’t know”, it’s about the same as in the case of supporting entrepreneurship. There is help, but “we didn’t know.” It seems that through official sources, through regional representative offices, through Tatmedia, as far as I know, a newsletter about the competition was sent out. Most likely, the local executive directorates of the ONF were instructed to notify all regional media. Perhaps communication was interrupted here, since the task was precisely to gather the widest group of people who would work in this direction. The ONF has recently become a serious source of relevant and interesting information. Maybe they expected that the political media regularly monitored their website, where they posted the regulations on the competition; those who needed it were aware.

Alexander Latyshev- editor-in-chief of the newspaper "Republic of Tatarstan":

How my employees found out about this competition, I don’t know. I officially assure you that I personally did not receive any information. This is truly the initiative of Farida Yakusheva and Irina Khalitova. At planning meetings, I always encourage employees to actively participate in competitions, because, I believe, the potential creative capabilities of our journalists are very great.

It was a big surprise for me when an employee came this morning and said that she was among the winners, then it turned out that another of the journalists was also awarded. It was a pleasant surprise. It's always nice when your employee is awarded at the federal level.

I would like to add one more thing. Firstly, we are not part of the Tatmedia structure. Secondly, why do state publications not have the right to participate in the competition? This is not about the status of a journalist, whether he is from a state media outlet or from an independent one, although, in my opinion, there are no such things. It's about the quality of publications. I remember the two materials that were sent to the competition well and consider them quite worthy. One text, as I learned later, was awarded in the “Quality of Life” nomination about the real well-being of the population, the second was devoted to government procurement and the topic of corruption.

Almost 500 journalists from all over the country. Only independent regional media. Selection for participation is almost competitive - there were several times more applications than the hall could accommodate. The Media Forum was held in St. Petersburg for the third time. And every year the interest in it grows.

At the same time, the forum has an important condition: only those who write about serious, pressing and important problems of their region or their village are invited here. Relevance of the work - main criterion. And Stanislav Govorukhin rightly said that “the most active and courageous journalists of Russia gathered in the hall.”

Now imagine this hall and several hundred journalists, where behind each of them there are thousands of readers and spectators- from newspapers to regional TV channels. And so the president came to talk with them. But they often know better about the troubles and problems of their region than another governor.

The fact that three hours was not enough for them to talk- this is already the case, notes in the margins. But the fact that it became a kind of rehearsal for a direct line with the president- That's for sure. I will remind you that in five days- this Thursday the President will answer your questions.

But what topics did the journalists choose? Our special correspondent Viktor CHERNOGUZ closely followed the work of the forum.

The meeting with the president was, of course, the culmination of the forum. Which was preceded by several days of seminars and lectures. What usually remains behind the scenes. The meetings differed from ordinary reporting events in that everyone in this room had their own story. Fight for justice.

Elena Shumilova, TV journalist: “There is a wall behind me, on which tens of thousands of rubles were spent, and because of this wall they will not move, supposedly major repairs have been carried out here.”

Elena Shumilova, a TV journalist from Komi, is a real headache for the republic’s officials. Thanks to her report on what the program for relocating dilapidated and dilapidated housing actually looks like, she was among the delegates at the St. Petersburg media forum. These shots, of course, do not need comments. This is how dozens of people on the waiting list live in the Pechora district of Komi. Suspicions of multi-million dollar fraud have already turned into a criminal case for those responsible.

Elena Shumilova, TV journalist:“The amount is about 600 million rubles, 90 percent of which was paid in advance by the contractor. the contractor is currently undergoing legal action against him, he is still under recognizance not to leave.”

But it is not always possible to achieve justice; there are other facts - when the fight for the truth turns out to be mortally dangerous for a journalist.

Svetlana Gorbacheva, editor-in-chief of the newspaper in Tulun, Irkutsk region: “The journalist began an investigation, he was outraged by the very fact of legal nihilism, that an official is allowed everything and everything is possible.”

Journalist Alexander Khodzinsky was killed by the vice-mayor of the city of Tulun in the Irkutsk region. The official acted absolutely openly, not embarrassed by witnesses. The reporter died because he published a series of materials about the shopping center, which belongs to the wife of the vice mayor. The reporter was sure: the building was built illegally. Numerous trials, accusations of libel. In the summer of 2012, after losing yet another trial, the high-ranking official’s nerves gave out. He went to look for Alexander Khodzinsky, taking with him a knife, an ax and a gas canister.

Svetlana Gorbacheva, editor-in-chief of the newspaper in Tulun, Irkutsk region: “Some kind of squabble arose between them, Alexander Nikolaevich began to drive Gennady Zhigarev out, he sprayed him with a gas canister in the face and inflicted 7 stab wounds on him, from which he died on the spot.”

1 year and 10 months - not even imprisonment, but restriction of freedom - this sentence to the murderous official was almost a greater shock for Alexander’s colleagues than the crime itself. The experts, as if in agreement, unanimously repeated: the defendant acted in a state of passion, the investigators and the judge for some reason believed it. So the meeting with Vladimir Putin became the last chance for Alexander Khodzinsky’s colleagues to achieve justice.

The forum in St. Petersburg brought together more than 450 participants who represented all regions of the country and all existing types of media: from the Internet to television. In fact, the people who form the information agenda for millions of Russians came to meet with the president. Therefore, for many it is important to hear the president without intermediaries - to understand what he thinks, how he places his assessments and emphasis in domestic and foreign policy. This is the first question about international relations. The president was asked this question by a journalist from Dagestan, Alik Abdulgamidov. Who, it turns out, has already met Vladimir Putin once. 17 years ago - in the Botlikh region, then our artillery ironed out positions captured by terrorists, among whom there were many touring artists from various countries. This war on terror continues to this day, only now, fortunately, not on our land - in Syria. But the successes of the Russian military, the capture of Palmyra alone is worth it, are recognized by Western partners with great reluctance. The president was asked where such bias came from.

Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation: “To silence these events is simply impossible. Impossible. There is such a desire, the task is to belittle, silence, underinform your viewers, listeners and readers. Life will go on as usual, and we don’t really care. The result is important to us."

However, Vladimir Putin spoke much more about internal Russian affairs. I’ll instruct you to sort it out, we’ll take it under control - that’s how he answered almost every question. And several times he even announced decisions that would soon improve the lives of thousands of Russians.

Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation: “We discussed just a few days ago with the Government: we will make a decision that in today’s situation, when real incomes of the population have decreased over the past year, to support large families by giving them the opportunity to take a certain amount (now we will decide what) from maternal capital."

So, in an open dialogue mode, the conversation went on hour after hour. The line did not reach Svetlana Gorbacheva. The bright yellow dress was a little trick to attract attention, holding the arm out high didn't seem to help. But still, towards the end of the meeting, she managed to talk about the tragic death of a journalist from a small town in the Irkutsk region. Less than two years for the murder of a reporter - this story, of course, impressed the president.

“I will simply ask you personally, as the leader of the ONF, as the President of the country, to show political will and, by contacting the Prosecutor General’s Office, still send this case for further investigation so that the killer is punished.”

Vladimir Putin,President of the Russian Federation: “The free press can be an enemy only for swindlers, embezzlers and criminals, and for the government as such, which serves the people, such a situation cannot exist. And I will, of course, ask the Prosecutor General to study this case in your case, make an appropriate decision and give recommendations to the investigative authorities.”

In total - more than 3 dozen questions. Already at the very end of the meeting, Vladimir Putin was complained about the German guest of the forum, Willy Wimer - he allegedly said that Russia has no national idea. The President could not miss the opportunity to look into the issue personally. Simultaneous translation from the head of state - we have never heard this before.

Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation: “Is our German friend here?

Reply (in German): ...

Vladimir Putin,President of the Russian Federation: “I was misunderstood, says our guest. Please continue."

A little later, in Russian, Vladimir Putin formulated his understanding of what Russia should be.

Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation: “The feeling of patriotism is very important, the feeling of national identification is very important, something that is being lost in some European countries, unfortunately for them. We have it inside. We have this in our hearts - love for the Fatherland. Let me remind you of Dmitry Sergeevich Likhachev. He once said that patriotism is fundamentally different from nationalism. Nationalism is hatred of other peoples, and patriotism is love for one’s Motherland.”

At this point, Vladimir Putin was forced to end the conversation - his schedule did not allow him to stay longer. While political scientists analyzed the content of the president’s speech, Svetlana Gorbacheva summed up her results of the media forum. There is now hope for the restoration of justice, but the question remains: why did this tragedy become possible in the small town of Irkutsk?

Svetlana Gorbacheva, editor-in-chief of the newspaper in Tulun, Irkutsk region:“I am always amazed by this moment: why do people who come to power, do they get sick with some kind of virus, what happens to them? Do they stop noticing people’s problems?”

Just a few hours after the end of the media forum, it became known: the Prosecutor General ordered to quickly assess the legality and validity of decisions in the criminal case of the murder of journalist Khodzinsky. The President fulfilled his promise, now it’s up to the investigators.
