Venediktov sent a commissar, and Kiselev was awarded
The Council of shareholders "Echo of Moscow" was replaced by the general director. Instead of Yuri Fedutinov, whose powers were terminated ahead of schedule, Ekaterina Pavlova was appointed. Yuri Fedutinov worked as the general director of Echo for 22 years. What is the reason for the owner to change the director? Usually the leader is changed when things are going badly. “Echo of Moscow” is a profitable radio station, an absolute leader among colloquial radio for audit indicators. According to "Mediaology", "Echo of Moscow" confidently occupies 1st place in the citation index among all federal radio stations in the country. What are the owner’s claims?
“I am ugly to suspect when I'm sure,” wrote the hedgehogs. Any doubts about the reasons for the replacement of the director of Echo disappear when you see the track record of the new leader. "Echo" is a commercial radio station. The new general director of Ekaterina Pavlova has been working exclusively on state media for the past 13 years and exclusively through the propaganda line: from 2000 to 2010, the chief editor “Vesti”, and from 2010 to 2013, the deputy chairman of the Voice of Russia, the one who is streaming our image abroad, like “Rasha Tude”, only this is a radio. Pavlova is a professional propagandist with extensive experience.
Obviously, Venediktov was not sent to a new business executive to strengthen the Echo economy, but by the commissar to correct the editorial policy. There is no place in a person, but a person. Fedutinov was a like -minded Venediktov. Member of the team. Pavlova is a political instructor with supervisory and Glavlite functions. The arrival of Lesin in the leadership of Gazprom-Media at the end of last year is the start of a new stage in state information policy. It is becoming more aggressive, more concentrated and more intolerable to dissent. The stripping of the remains of pluralism on the air, most likely, is coming to an end. The prospects of "rain" do not look too encouraging. Now they seriously took up the "echo".
By the way, Ekaterina Pavlova is an orderly carrier. She, like Vladimir Soloviev, was awarded the Order of Merit to the Fatherland. And yesterday Dmitry Kiselev joined this company, who was also given such an order, only for some reason the 4th degree. I was pleased with the wording: "For ... a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, the merits in the humanitarian sphere, strengthen the legality, protect the rights and interests of citizens." Interestingly, here is the splash of anti-Semitism, which Kiselev made in the last “news of the week”, is this a contribution to defense of the rights and interests of citizens or is it still a strengthening of legality? And the call to burn the hearts of gays is probably a contribution to the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation.
The state makes it clear to its awards and appointments that, in his state opinion, is good and what is bad. In March, the election of the editor -in -chief of Echo of Moscow should be held.
