“SLAVES” OF REUTERS.

The Reuters news agency is taking control of the news market in Russia, according to the May 25-31 Obshchaya gazeta. It already generates half the information in and about Russia, the paper says. As a result, Russians have lost control of their own information space and could become “slaves of Reuters.” This attack, which originates with Moscow’s own news services, follows last week’s announcement by Reuters that it will establish a Russia and CIS-wide information network.
