On January 15, a new public organization, the Russian Press Academy, began its work.
Vitaly Ignatenko, General Director of the ITAR-TASS news agency, was unanimously elected as the first President of the Academy. Among the academicians are the legends of Russian journalism: Inna Rudenko, Vsevolod Ovchinnikov, Yasen Zasursky, Novaya Rost columnist Yuri Rost and other no less worthy masters of the word.
Congratulations to all academicians and we wish you success in your new endeavor!
